Scandinavian mid-century design aesthetics and Brazilian modernism meet on the new Brasilia lounge chair and corresponding ottoman, designed for Menu by Anderssen and Voll. Originally imagined for the Audo, the luxurious armchair-lounge chair hybrid offers unparalleled sitting comfort thanks to its robust frame and soft upholstery. "The mood directly inspired the design at the Audo. There was something about the setting – wooden sculptures, calm ambiance, and welcoming colors – that made us think of more exotic variations of modernism rather than our familiar Scandinavian roots," note designers Torbjorn Anderssen and Espen Voll. Made using traditional joinery techniques, the wooden frame is characterized by exaggerated armrests, cylindrical legs at the front, and broad, wooden boards at the back, lending the chair personality and its distinctive look. The cushioning seat and backrest add to the sense of ease. The versatile footrest is a seat for unexpected guests or a resting place for a newspaper or tray.
