Originally developed in Copenhagen in 1974, Limit Lounge Chair quickly gained international recognition. With this reissue, Normann Copenhagen affirms the enduring strength of the original design’s material logic and restraint — acknowledging that some designs are simply right the first time. The name Limit reflects the conditions under which the chair was conceived — a moment defined by material scarcity and structural clarity — and speaks to a design shaped by conscious reduction rather than excess. Its ingenuity earned it a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Decades later, its relevance feels undiminished.
