In 1957, a revolutionary chair saw the light of day. The Oda Lounge Chair, originally named the MS-9, was created by the Danish furniture designer Arnold Madsen. Its cocooning shape - with a horseshoe back, integrated wooden armrests and gently molded lumbar and neck support - made it the perfect armchair for everyday rest and relaxation. The expressive and aesthetic reinterpretation of an armchair was an ambitious, experimental design from the very beginning. A welded ring-shaped steel frame connected to a piece of bent plywood and with armrests secured inside its shell create a round armchair; elegant, visually light and sleekly upholstered, yet stable and comfortable, warm and embracing. As the hype surrounding Danish Modern faded away, so too did the MS-9. It was rediscovered in the 1980s by Noritsugu Oda, a design expert and avid collector of Danish design, and soon gained renewed attention. The chair was later renamed the Oda Chair after the man who rediscovered it. Produced in recent times since 2011, Audo now proudly relaunches the iconic design as part of its heritage collection. Complex to craft, the modern iteration is shaped after a vintage piece as no original drawings exist.
