History:
First exhibited at the Danish Cabinetmaker's Guild exhibition, 13-29 September, 1935.
A very rare model, the Hussar armchair is recognised as the precursor or 'prototype' to Flemming Lassen's ubiquitous 'Tired Man' chair, unveiled at the Danish Cabinetmaker's Guild Exhibition the following year.
