Danish designer Hans Hornemann took inspiration for the Ace series from his own life in Copenhagen. The series aims at urban dwellers, who prioritize quality and aesthetics but who must also adapt to the limited space of life in the city. With a recurring design trait of friendly, organic lines, Ace offers maximum comfort in condensed form.
When designing Ace, Hans Hornemann has worked on a chair‚ basic components, backrest, seat and legs, and has created a functional and aesthetic design with a more petite stature than traditional lounge furniture.
The design balances finely between the refined and the relaxed. Rounded contours emphasize the inviting volume of the full upholstery and are framed elegantly by the piping around the seat and back. A backwards-leaning backrest and cheekily angled legs give edge and attitude, resulting in a design of timeless and nonchalant elegance.
The Ace range is suitable for private settings and public spaces and besides the new bar chair it also includes a sofa, armchair, footstool and dining chair. This latter item is now being launched in a steel- frame version to match the bar chair, making these two pieces a natural combination within the same environment. The slender steel gives the Ace chair lightness, strength and stream-lined elegance.
The upholstery is an essential component of the Ace range and has been manufactured by skilled upholsterers who practice their craft with precision. Rounded contours highlight the generous volume of the fully upholstered chair which is framed elegantly by the seaming around the seat and back. Both the leather and the seven different textile qualities are available in a wide range of different colors.
