The Fold Lounge Chair features a seamless circular shell, with smooth curves flowing from backrest to seat, forming a continuous, enveloping structure that supports the lumbar and back for an immersive seating experience. The outward-flaring curves on either side resemble open arms, conveying warmth and invitation. The entire chair is elevated on slender metal legs, creating a striking contrast between light and solid, soft and steel—offering visual lightness while subtly expressing structural tension.
Born in 1967, Henrik Pedersen graduated as a fashion designer in 1990 and now runs 365° North, a Danish design studio based in Aarhus that focuses on lifestyle-based design, ranging from furniture and lighting to projects for clothing and food packaging companies.
His furniture designs are characterized by elegance, exquisite materials, and formal clarity.
"For me, design must have a meaning. The shape, colour and choice of materials have to complement each individual design. Good design is functional, beautiful and easy to understand."
