Little Petra

The lounge armchair Little Petra , the 'little Petra', is named after Boesen's mother-in-law and the fact that this cocktail armchair appears relatively small with a total height of just 75 centimetres. However, Little Petra is particularly comfortable and proves to be not only comfortable but also extremely versatile when it comes to choosing the seating position.

The essence of a lounge chair

Low to the ground, open and 'embracing', Little Petra embodies the essence of a lounge chair and enables all kinds of seating positions in every conceivable environment: lobby, lounge, living room, club, men's room, nursing room, children's room, bedroom, hallway, office. "A lot of work has gone into ensuring the greatest possible comfort, from the seat to the upholstery," emphasizes the manufacturer &Tradition, which reborn Little Petra in 2018. And emphasis was also placed on the use of natural materials: The chair's legs are made of oak or walnut, reminiscent of Viggo Boesen's love of natural materials.

Our conclusion

The sheepskin-covered version in particular supports this idea and is characterized by special properties. On the one hand, real fur is particularly robust and hard-wearing. On the other hand, the Litte Petra VB1 armchair covered with sheepskin is characterized by its moisture-regulating and insulating properties, which make it cuddly warm and cosy. But the fabric versions of this armchair also have their advantages. Whether fabric or fur - Litte Petra from &tradition is designed for the TAGWERC Design TEAM a lounge armchair that has what it takes to become a favorite place.
