BOOMERANG

Debuted in 1956, the Boomerang’s exacting design continues to delight today.

This mid-century classic lounge chair by duo Hvidt & Mølgaard has a no-frills
form. From a hand-polished wooden frame that echoes the pleasing L-shaped
symmetry of its Australian namesake, to the slender brass legs that splay out an
angle, the Boomerang endures as a masterpiece.

While Hvidt & Mølgaard stripped the frame of any superfluous detail, they also
employed their superior technical skills to maximize comfort. Its appearance
is contemporary, but the Boomerang prioritizes another principle of modern
Danish design: that of function. The relaxed slant of the back ensures that one sits
with ease, as does the option of a version with arm rests. Reversible pillows with
removable covers add further support.

“The Boomerang’s appeal lies in its stark simplicity, but this streamlined form is
deceptive,” explains &Tradition CEO and founder Martin Kornbek Hansen. “This
is a chair that was made to be enjoyed, with the inclusion of clever details that
bolster the body.”
