Viggo Boesen Danish Rattan “Fox Chairs”, a Pair, Mid Century, 1960's

Danish designed iconic rattan "Fox" chairs, vintage originals by Viggo Boesen. Boesen designed a number of pieces of modernist wicker furniture, which were based on the strength and durability of rattan. According to Boesen, furniture should have an organic flow and embrace the body smoothly and tenderly. It should be a delight to the eye, but also be solid and durable. Boesen's Fox Lounge Chair won the design competition that the Danish Wicker-Maker Guild held in 1936.
