The Carl Hansen & Søn RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair is a refined continuation of the celebrated RF1903 Sideways Sofa, both designed by Rikke Frost. As part of the Carl Hansen & Søn collection, the RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair reflects the brand’s commitment to heritage craftsmanship and timeless Scandinavian design. With its soft, sculptural form and inviting silhouette, the Carl Hansen & Søn RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair offers a place for quiet contemplation, casual conversation, and lasting comfort.
Inspired by the Sideways Sofa, the Carl Hansen & Søn RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair features a gracefully curved backrest, crafted from steam-bent solid wood and handwoven paper yarn. This artisanal construction highlights the brand’s continued use of traditional Danish woodworking techniques, ensuring each RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair is not only visually striking but also built to endure. The chair’s generous seat and firm, supportive upholstery provide balanced comfort and ergonomic integrity, making it suitable for both private living spaces and contract interiors.
Rikke Frost, a Danish designer born in 1973, is recognized for her deep understanding of materials and her ability to merge traditional and contemporary craft methods. Her work is defined by an organic design language and a thoughtful use of form—qualities that are clearly embodied in the Carl Hansen & Søn RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair. With circular forms as a recurring theme, Frost designs furniture that is both expressive and human-centered. Her dedication to longevity, function, and materiality aligns seamlessly with Carl Hansen & Søn’s enduring design values.
Every Carl Hansen & Søn RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair is crafted using FSC™-certified oak or walnut and upholstered in premium textiles, offering an elevated yet understated aesthetic. The woven paper yarn backrest provides a lightweight visual character and ensures that the chair looks beautiful from every angle. With its blend of modern craftsmanship and timeless materials, the RF1904 Sideways Lounge Chair is a sophisticated choice for homes, lounges, libraries, and hospitality spaces.

What is Scandinavian & Nordic Design?
People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden—and Iceland) obsess over high-quality design, exquisite craftsmanship, and sustainability.
From mid-century modern icons to today's emerging designers, they believe beautiful design improves lives and that intentional consumption can even make us happier.
Why Makes Scandinavian Design Special?
People from Scandinavia and the Nordic countries self-report higher levels of happiness with their lives than than anywhere else on Earth. Despite cloudy, wet summers and long, cold winter nights, many there find a contentment most of us only wish for.
We are not suggesting that incorporating Scandinavian design in your home will make you happier (wink). But we do believe that making intentional choices about the objects that surround us—their beauty, longevity, and functionality—can improve our daily lives.
What "Scandinavian" philosophies & values?
Nørdikka Collective showcases classic pieces by iconic mid-century designers, alongside work by the region's emerging talent. What unites them is a timeless pursuit of design perfection: form follows function; beauty in minimalism; quality is luxury; and longevity is sustainability.
The term "Scandinavian" isn't just about our objects, but rather the philosophies and values the objects represent. Our partners revere environmental stewardship, value human-centered manufacturing, and work to preserve their cultures' design heritage for future generations.
