Ro Chair by Fritz Hansen

Ro Chair by Fritz Hansen

Drawing inspiration from the Danish word for “tranquility,” the Ro Chair from Fritz Hansen is a wingback armchair that follows the shape of the user’s body.

The chair features curved seat shell that swoops out on both sides forming armrests, and then dips inward at the neck. Rounded cushions for the headrest, back, and seat are separated from the body of the chair, covered in a slightly different texture than the shell. Two small buttons at chest height provide a bit of detail in an otherwise uninterrupted design.
