Broadway by Eikund. The elegance of taking centre stage.

Broadway finds its strength in precision. In the way the wood has been crafted, in the balance of its proportions, and in a silhouette capable of conveying real character.

Designed by Torbjørn Afdal in 1958, this lounge chair embodies much of the sensibility that defined mid-century Scandinavian design: attention to detail, material honesty and a constant pursuit of comfort through form.

The value of a well-resolved curve.

Afdal developed Broadway with extraordinary meticulousness. One only needs to observe the transition between the legs and the armrests to understand the level of precision required by such an apparently simple piece.

The turned ends of the backrest and armrests gently extend beyond the structure, drawing a distinctive silhouette full of personality. A gesture that gives the chair its identity without disturbing the serenity of the whole.

The oak frame, available in five finishes, retains all the prominence of the piece. The softness of the wood to the touch, the richness of its grain and the warmth it conveys make every detail part of the experience.

Comfort through materiality.

The upholstered leather seat introduces a contrasting texture that naturally complements the wood.

Perhaps this is why Broadway has remained so relevant. Although it carries the aesthetic sensibility of its time, its appeal does not depend on passing trends, but on a precise understanding of proportion, craftsmanship and materials.

It is no coincidence that this lounge chair received the Gold Medal at the So Wohnt Europa fair in Munich in 1959. Almost seventy years later, it continues to convey the same sense of quiet balance that made it a landmark of Norwegian design.
