When investing in furniture, I look for designs that blend elegance, history, and comfort—pieces that feel just as relevant today as they did decades ago. That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce the Little Petra Lounge Chair, now available at Homio Decor. This sculptural yet inviting chair, originally designed by Viggo Boesen in 1938, is a true icon of Danish design, combining soft, organic curves with ultimate coziness.

A Design with History

Viggo Boesen, a pioneer of the Funkis style in Denmark, envisioned Little Petra as a chair that embraced comfort without sacrificing style. Unlike the rigid, angular forms common in modernist furniture of the time, Boesen’s design was warm and welcoming—almost like a friendly hug in chair form. Despite its initial popularity, only a few pieces were produced, making it a rare treasure among vintage collectors.

Fast forward to today, and the chair has been reintroduced for a new generation of design lovers. Its petite proportions allow it to fit effortlessly into small and large spaces alike, from cozy reading nooks to stylish living rooms. Whether placed as a statement piece or paired with other timeless furnishings, Little Petra brings a touch of sculptural beauty to any setting.

How to Choose the Right Investment Pieces for Your Home

I firmly believe that a well-designed home doesn’t need to stick to a single style or era. In fact, the most captivating interiors often result from a mix of different aesthetics. However, when it comes to investing in high-quality furniture, a thoughtful approach is key to ensuring long-term harmony in your space.

When selecting an investment piece, I always consider how well it integrates into my home as a whole—not just one specific room. Versatile pieces like lounge chairs, accent tables, and lighting should complement both your existing decor and any future additions you might be considering.

Here are a few essential questions to ask yourself before making a purchase:
✔ Can this piece work in multiple areas of my home?
✔ Does it blend well with my current furniture and decor?
✔ Does it align with my long-term vision for both style and function?
✔ Will it retain its value over time, making it worth keeping or reselling?

If you can confidently answer yes to these, you’ve likely found a piece worth investing in. For me, the Little Petra Lounge Chair from Homio Decor ticks all these boxes—offering timeless design, adaptability, and lasting value.

Designing with a Long-Term Vision

One of the best ways to ensure a new piece truly fits into your home is by creating a digital vision board. Since moving into our current space, I’ve kept a vision board for each room—a simple but effective way to organize my ideas and visualize how different designs will work together. It doesn’t have to be elaborate, but having a digital collage for each space helps me make mindful decisions, avoid impulse purchases, and stay focused on my long-term interior goals.

Before committing to any piece, I like to let it sit on my vision board for a while—just to be sure it aligns with my aesthetic and functional needs. However, with the Little Petra Lounge Chair, I knew almost instantly that it was the perfect addition. It embodies everything I look for in a lounge chair: timeless style, genuine comfort, Scandinavian heritage, and enduring craftsmanship. Its compact size, neutral materials, and elegant curves ensure that it will always have a place in my home, no matter how my interior evolves.

Below, you can see how I’ve styled the Little Petra Lounge Chair in different areas of my home. While it has now found a permanent place in the living room, its versatility allows it to seamlessly complement other spaces as well. The shearling upholstery adds a beautiful layer of warmth and texture, balancing the clean lines and minimalist surfaces throughout my home. Plus, its sculptural form pairs effortlessly with both modern and classic elements, creating a refined yet inviting atmosphere.
