Viggo Boesen (1907–1985) was a visionary Danish designer and architect who helped shape the organic, sculptural direction of Scandinavian design in the 1930s. Rejecting the rigidity of Bauhaus minimalism, he embraced a softer, more intuitive aesthetic known as “Funkis,” a Nordic interpretation of Art Deco. His iconic creations, including the Petra and Little Petra lounge chairs for &Tradition, remain timeless examples of his warm, human-centered approach to modernism.
