My Own Chair, oak - black leather

My Own Chair was designed by Flemming Lassen in 1938 for the Cabinetmakers Guild Exhibition in Copenhagen. As the design was ahead of its time, it was not put into production but remained in the architect’s personal use and eventually became his favourite chair. When Lassen's son sold the original chair in an auction in 2014, the hammer price was a staggering 120 000 euros. Two years later, My Own Chair was launched Audo Copenhagen and is now available to all fans of Danish design classics. The sculptural but comfortable piece of furniture catches the eye with its large, curved backrest and alludes to Lassen’s love for simple, rounded forms, precise details and functionality.

Audo Copenhagen was born in 2023 when two well-known Danish brands, By Lassen and MENU, joined forces. The outcome of this collaboration is a contemporary and versatile lifestyle brand that focuses on furniture, lighting and interior products. Drawing inspiration from Danish design traditions and global influences, Audo Copenhagen's collection consists of familiar pieces from the By Lassen and MENU portfolios, as well as fresh designs from visionary creators. The brand places a spotlight on high-quality materials, meticulously crafted details and a clean, understated aesthetic. Audo Copenhagen is based in The Audo, a hybrid space in Copenhagen that revolves around design.
