The Ø lounge chair from BoConcept serves as a personal sanctuary

With the Ø lounge chair, Christensen — who was appointed Global Artistic Director of BoConcept in early 2025 — wanted to create a personal sanctuary for the home, one that balances generous proportions with understated minimalism. Recalling her own connection to water and nature, she describes the lounge chair as “a cozy little island in your home.”
