Dögg & Arnved designed a straight backrest to allow not only for rest but also reading (or watching television). The woven ‘ears’ on each side of the headrest reinforce the general feeling of intimacy. The 350 metres of woven cord used is available in grey, black or tobacco colour, set on a black steel structure. The Fifty armchair will be a sculptural presence in whichever room it occupies and will intrigue with its unexpected alliance of the minimalist design of its steel structure and the traditional warmth of the hand-woven cord. Fifty is designed to be used outdoors as well as indoors.
Ligne Roset
Fifty
The inspiration for the Fifty armchair is clearly to be sought in the ”Flag Halyard Chair”, the recliner chair in metal and cord designed by Hans Wegner in Denmark in 1950.

Rikke Rützou Arnved
A graduate (2001) of the School of Architecture of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. After her graduation she established her own design office, Ark Type, where she primarily designed furniture and indoor design. At same time she was lecturing at the DTU (The Danish Technical University, Institute of Design and Innovation).
She has worked for Danish architectural studios in the fields of industrial design, lighting and interior design, it being a professional skill of hers to work in such different capacities. Since 2006 she has worked on a wide range of projects from city planning, urban design and building design competitions to furniture. It inspires her when architecture and design create an interdependence.
Working with design at any level, the essence is, for her, to work in such a way as the overall project and its individual details are seen as a unified whole.
