After experimenting for years with the concept of a plywood frame inspired by old wooden tennis rackets, design duo Hvidt & Mølgaard launched X in 1959.

A lounge chair with a distinctive sloping silhouette.

Archival sketches show how the designers painstakingly examined and tested materials to eventually settle on a woven natural rattan seat supported by an elegant oiled oak frame.

The already elegant design is elevated by the solid walnut X-shaped connection.

The intelligent construction of X makes it really comfortable, while its reduced proportions make it perfect for countless rooms.

Rattan is a natural material that will darken slightly over time.
