About the X Lounge Chair HM10

Showcasing an intriguing relationship between material and concept, the X lounge chair stands as a testament to the creative vision and innovative approach of Hvidt & Mølgaard, representing the peak of their work as furniture designers. After years of experimentation and refinement, the Danish design duo found inspiration in the unique structure of old wooden tennis rackets, leading them to explore the concept of a laminated wooden frame. This experimentation culminated in the release of the X lounge chair in 1959, a design that would come to define their legacy.

The X lounge chair is characterized by its distinctive sloping silhouette, which not only enhances the chair’s comfort but also gives it a sense of effortless elegance. The graceful curves of the frame blend seamlessly with the minimalistic, yet inviting seat, creating a piece that embodies both form and function in perfect harmony. The chair’s understated aesthetic highlights the beauty of the materials used—laminated wood and high-quality craftsmanship—while maintaining a timeless simplicity that speaks to the restrained elegance of Scandinavian design.

The design of the X lounge chair was groundbreaking at the time, as it pushed the boundaries of traditional wooden furniture by incorporating laminated wood in a way that had never been seen before. This innovation, combined with the chair’s comfort and visual appeal, ensured that the X lounge chair became a classic piece in the world of modern furniture design. Hvidt & Mølgaard’s ability to fuse experimental techniques with a refined, functional form made the X lounge chair not only an icon of mid-century Danish design but also a lasting influence on the design world as a whole.
