The Eikund Krysset Lounge Chair is a distinctive Norwegian design icon recognised for its characteristic cross-legged structure and sculptural silhouette. Designed by Fredrik A. Kayser while working at the renowned Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor between 1952 and 1956, the chair demonstrates Kayser’s ability to combine expressive form with exceptional comfort and thoughtful craftsmanship.

The chair’s defining cross-legged construction gives it a strong architectural presence while maintaining a visually light and elegant appearance. Its carefully considered wooden structure showcases the beauty of traditional craftsmanship, with each element contributing to the chair’s distinctive character.

A generously proportioned backrest stretches outward like a sail, creating a supportive and inviting shape that gently embraces the sitter. This combination of sculptural structure, quality materials, and ergonomic comfort makes the Krysset a timeless example of Scandinavian mid-century design.

With its expressive silhouette and refined construction, the Krysset Lounge Chair makes a striking addition to living rooms, reading areas, lounges, hospitality spaces, and contemporary interiors.
