lotus lounge chair
Design Niels Bendtsen
Molded foam, steel, webbing
Made in Italy by Bensen
Lotus is a multi-purpose lounge chair equally appropriate for home or commercial space. The result of a considered design process and advanced production techniques, its small scale hides a surprisingly spacious and comfortable seat that allows for numerous positions including side sitting.
The molded foam body combines an internal steel frame with elastic webbing for comfort and support, while expertly sewn covers create a tailored appearance. The strong yet lightweight nickel plated steel base features an internal return mechanism that centers the chair after sitting.
The Lotus chair is produced using advanced injection molding techniques adopted from the auto industry to create a superbly comfortable and sculptural chair. This production method is not only very efficient, but results in superior comfort and durability. The case aluminum base features an internal return mechanism that centers the chair after sitting and additional vertical springing. The base is available in either mirror polished or a matte black paint finish.

Niels Bendtsen
Bendtsen gained valuable skills and a respect for hand-built traditions as an apprentice, and was intrigued by new technologies. Between 1963 and 1972, Bendtsen had his own retail store where he sold imported Scandinavian designs. He designed small items for the store, but it wasn't until he was in his early thirties that he truly began designing furniture.
The Bensen philosophy balances simplicity and honesty. Designer Niels Bendtsen trained as an apprentice with his father building Scandinavian furniture and gained skills & respect for hand built traditions.
