The Lily chair was originally designed for the Danish National Bank in 1968 and an armchair version was added in 1970.
Made from laminated sliced veneer, Lily is the result of an extremely complicated moulding process that ensures the perfect curves and the best comfort.

The original version in Walnut veneer was relaunched to celebrate the chair's 50th anniversary.
