Paere Dansk’s collection of New Lounge Furniture brings forward the essence of Scandinavian modernism while expanding its vocabulary for the contemporary home. These pieces are sculptural, tactile and quietly extravagant — an elevated expression of natural materials shaped by the world’s finest cabinetmakers and designers.
Oak, walnut, rosewood, wenge, purple heart and beech are not merely timbers here: they are the building blocks of spaces that breathe. They carry warmth and movement. They respond to light. They evolve with age. Every surface is designed to be touched, leaned on, lived with.
From console tables and stools to daybeds, sculptural chairs and monocoque rockers, Paere Dansk’s new lounge furniture celebrates craftsmanship not as a nostalgic idea, but as a living, evolving discipline.
A New Language of Lounge Living
Each piece in this collection is designed for clients who understand that lounge furniture is more than functional décor — it is the emotional centre of a room. It must have presence. Proportion. A certain sophistication that is felt before it is analysed.
Designers, stylists and collectors favour Paere Dansk’s new lounge pieces because they offer:
1. Sculptural silhouettes that hold their own in a room
These are furnishing “characters” — pieces that anchor a space while complementing architectural forms. Whether in minimalist interiors, richly layered homes or hospitality environments, their silhouettes create moments of visual drama.
2. Authentic materials, ethically sourced and hand-finished
Solid woods such as rosewood, walnut, oak, wenge, maple, ash, cherry and purple heart create a palette of natural richness rarely encountered in contemporary furniture. Tactility and longevity are essential to the Paere Dansk ethos.
3. Collector-level craftsmanship
Many of these pieces are made by workshops in Denmark and Japan renowned for uncompromising standards. Some are produced by Niels Roth Andersen, Alderman of the Cabinetmakers Guild of Copenhagen — a title that speaks to mastery and tradition.
4. Design lineage with modern relevance
Several models were originally conceived during the golden age of Danish design, while others are contemporary interpretations that bring new vitality to mid-century ideas.
For interior designers seeking objects with emotional resonance — and for private clients who want statement pieces with artisanal integrity — Paere Dansk’s new lounge collection represents a realm of elevated luxury.
PD 60 Console Table in Rosewood — A New Function for a Revered Form
Paere Dansk’s highly regarded PD60 design re-emerges in a new role: the console table.
Crafted in solid rosewood, the PD 60 Console is a lesson in proportion and poise. Console tables often risk becoming secondary characters in a room — practical but forgettable. The PD 60 redefines the category entirely. With its clean geometry and dramatically patterned rosewood grain, it introduces depth, warmth and architectural tension to hallways, studies, lounges and gallery walls.
Collectors appreciate its adaptability, while interior designers prize its ability to deliver understated drama without stealing focus from surrounding artworks or furniture.
The PD 60 Console is a rare example of a reimagined Danish form that feels not like a derivative, but like a natural evolution.
The Ori Stool — Origami in Solid Wood
The Ori Stool takes its name from its origami-like construction. Sharp folds meet soft arcs; facets catch the light; shadows deepen within its angled planes.
This stool is an interior stylist’s dream: sculptural enough to sit alone, functional enough to serve as seating or a side table, and available in woods that transform its personality entirely.
Available from stock in:
· Oak – warm, familiar, beautifully grained
· Walnut – dark, refined, quietly luxurious
· Purple heart – striking and contemporary, with its vibrant violet tone
Available to order in:
· Beech
· Ash
· Maple
· Cherry
The Ori Stool’s versatility makes it popular with designers working on boutique hospitality projects, high-end residential schemes and minimalist luxury interiors. It is a piece that upgrades a space without demanding permission — the kind of object that subtly signals taste.
The IS Sofa by Inoda & Sveje — Sculpture for the Living Room
Designed by Inoda & Sveje and produced by Miyazaki Co., the IS Sofa is a study in refined minimalism.
Its profile is impossibly light — almost aerodynamic — with a sculptural underframe that reveals the precision of Japanese woodworking. Yet the sofa retains a softness and calm associated with Danish design. This merging of cultural philosophies results in a piece that feels at once serene and intensely crafted.
Interior designers gravitate toward the IS Sofa for its:
· fluid, almost biomorphic curves
· inviting form without bulk
· ability to harmonise with both vintage and contemporary palettes
It is the kind of sofa that instantly elevates a lounge without overpowering it, appealing to clients who value craftsmanship that whispers rather than shouts.
Dan-Dan Stool — The Accidental Sculpture
The Dan-Dan Stool emerged from what its creators describe as “fumbling the beautiful shape” – a charmingly understated way of explaining its sculptural complexity.
Available in oak, purple heart or walnut, the Dan-Dan is tactile, playful and surprisingly elegant. Its organic curves fit naturally beneath the hand, and its compact form makes it ideal for layered seating arrangements, alcoves or curated corners.
Designers often use it as a punctuation mark in a room — a sculptural accent that adds warmth and personality.
Helge Vestergaard Jensen Rocking Chair — A Monocoque Masterpiece
Originally designed in 1961, this rocking chair is pure poetry in rosewood.
Made in 2015 by Niels Roth Andersen, the Alderman of the Cabinetmakers Guild of Copenhagen, the chair is chiselled, skeletal and modern. Its single-piece monocoque structure is a technical achievement in itself, while the armrests — shaped like a forearm and wrist — invite the sitter to complete the metaphor.
The fluted leather skin draws the eye vertically, sharpening the silhouette and emphasising its architectural presence.
Available in:
· natural untreated leather
· orange/red leather
This chair appeals to serious collectors and interior designers seeking statement pieces with museum-level craftsmanship. It is not merely seating — it is a piece of design theatre.
The Handy Chair by Illum Wikkelsø — Functional Whimsy in Solid Wenge
Designed in the 1960s and revived in solid wenge from 2013 onward, the Handy Chair is one of the most distinctive pieces in Paere Dansk’s collection.
Its form is inspired by the shape of cupped hands — fingers curled, palms open — and the result is a chair that is both playful and astonishingly ergonomic.
Wenge’s dark, luxurious grain gives the piece visual gravity, making it a favourite in modernist interiors and richly layered living spaces.
Designers often describe it as “the chair that starts conversations.”
