The Tired Man Footstool

Designed as the perfect companion to Flemming Lassen's iconic 1935 masterpiece, The Tired Man Footstool extends the revolutionary comfort experience of its celebrated counterpart. This thoughtfully conceived ottoman continues the original armchair's signature organic lines and rounded forms—creating a cohesive seating ensemble that elevates any sophisticated living space, reading corner, or contemplative area within the contemporary home.

Crafted with the same dedication to Danish excellence that defines Audo Copenhagen's luxury furniture collection, the footstool features harmonious proportions and premium materials that mirror the armchair's exceptional quality. The frame combines oak, plywood, and steel for lasting durability, while the luxurious upholstery options—including sumptuous sheepskin—provide unrivaled tactile comfort that invites complete relaxation. Practical brass wheels on the front feet ensure effortless mobility, allowing this versatile accent piece to be easily repositioned within your interior landscape.

For those seeking the full expression of Lassen's vision for domestic comfort, pairing The Tired Man Lounge Chair with its corresponding footstool creates the ultimate sanctuary for unwinding after a long day. Audo Copenhagen recommends purchasing the chair and ottoman as a set when selecting sheepskin upholstery, as this natural material may vary slightly in color, texture, and wool fiber length between production batches—ensuring perfect aesthetic harmony between these complementary pieces.

The Tired Man Footstool embodies Lassen's enduring design philosophy that merged Bauhaus functionalism with deeply human comfort needs. This thoughtful approach to furniture design transformed Danish modernism and continues to resonate with today's discerning design collectors and luxury furniture enthusiasts. As an essential element of Flemming Lassen's most celebrated seating concept, this ottoman completes the immersive comfort experience that the designer described as feeling "as warm and safe as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother in the middle of the ice cap."
