The Elephant Chair, designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl for Danish design house NORR11, is a modern masterpiece that combines Nordic minimalism with bold, sculptural form. Since its introduction, it has become a contemporary favorite for those who appreciate understated luxury and organic aesthetics.
Inspired by Danish Craftsmanship and Japanese Precision
The Elephant Chair draws inspiration from the traditional Danish lounge chair of the 1950s, merging it with Japanese woodworking techniques. Its name reflects the shape of the backrest — resembling the ear of an elephant — which gently wraps around the sitter to offer both comfort and support.
The frame is crafted from solid wood, typically oak or walnut, with beautifully curved edges and a wide seat that invites relaxation. Paired with a softly upholstered cushion or leather seat, it offers a tactile experience as delightful as its design.
A Lounge Chair That Elevates Any Singapore Interior
Whether placed in a living room, reading nook, or modern office, the Elephant Chair makes a confident statement without being loud. Its organic form and natural wood tones harmonize beautifully with Singapore’s urban yet tropical interiors, offering a calming, sculptural presence.
This is a chair that balances form and function — ideal for those who appreciate high-end design with everyday usability.
