The Tired Man was launched at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1935 and has since become an icon of Danish design. The epitome of craftsmanship and comfort, the characteristically curved armchair was designed by Flemming Lassen to feel “as warm and snug as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother.” Relaunched in 2015, the award-winning design is offered in plush upholstery, including sheepskin in a nod to the original, and with natural or dark-oiled oak heartwood legs and front brass casters for easy movement. A corresponding footstool ensures further comfort.

About the Brand

Audo reflects both a century of Danish design tradition and a modern, global outlook that is continually expanding and evolving.

Audo’s furniture, lighting and interior accessories are shaped by purposeful details, high-quality materials and human needs, going hand-in-hand with the pursuit to create strong, long-lasting connections and partnerships.

Bridging heritage and contemporary design, Danish roots and global ambition, people and projects around the world, Audo designs are catalysts for creativity and communal innovation.

Audo’s aesthetic philosophy has been coined soft minimalism, characterised by clean lines, calm, subtle strength, earth tones and nature’s materials crafted with utmost respect.

Soft minimalism promotes creative contemplation and harmony. It adapts to diverse architectural styles and is appropriate for both residential and commercial use, and it’s timeless meaning Audo pieces can be used for decades to come and move to new homes and into new, creative chapters of life.
