About the collection
Tradition is Skagerak's deep-seat lounge family by Povl B. Eskildsen, a former Eskildsen Studio principal whose work for Fritz Hansen and Skagerak runs through the Riviera sunbed and the Tradition sofa. The collection is built from four interchangeable modules, armchair, two-seat, three-seat, corner, each fabricated from full-thickness FSC™ teak rails and a slatted seat platform, intended to be cushioned with weather-tested covers in ash, sand, navy or charcoal. The proportions are unusually generous for an outdoor system; the seat depth is closer to an indoor sofa than to a typical garden bench, and Tradition is the answer to a long deep terrace that needs a lounge that will not look apologetic in winter.

The Tradition lounge · modular sits within Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's permanent outdoor catalog, a position Skagerak by Fritz Hansen has held as a Danish design house acquired by Fritz Hansen in 2021, bringing the Skagerak teak tradition into the Fritz Hansen archive. Manufactured at Hovedgård, Denmark, Denmark, since Skagerak by Fritz Hansen was established in 1976. Tradition is produced in FSC-certified teak from Indonesian plantations and powder-coated steel as part of Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's premium Danish FSC teak outdoor programme, with the configuration designed by Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's in-house design team.
Skagerak by Fritz Hansen's lounge · modular pieces are built around FSC-certified teak from Indonesian plantations and powder-coated steel. For US trade specifiers, this means Tradition carries the same material data sheets and US-trade documentation as the rest of the Skagerak by Fritz Hansen catalog: ASTM F1858 outdoor furniture compliance where applicable, fire-code classification on cushion components, and chain-of-shipment documentation supplied with the invoice. Bespoke fabric or finish substitutions are accepted on COM workflow with confirmed yardage at quote stage; see the Sunbrella and Outdura specifier reference for the workflow at the European factory.
Pricing for Tradition at US trade typically falls between $1,800 to $5,800 per piece at US trade, before fabric grade, finish premium, and consolidated freight. Lead time is 6-10 weeks from Denmark to US port for standard configurations; bespoke dimensions, COM upholstery, or large hospitality volumes extend by 4-8 weeks. The collection is specified in US hospitality outdoor (boutique hotel terraces, resort pool decks, restaurant outdoor dining) and in premium residential outdoor (lake-house, pool-house, rooftop terrace) installations.
Standard Tradition configurations ship 6-10 weeks from Denmark to US port. Bespoke dimensions or COM upholstery add 4-8 weeks. Hospitality projects above 50 pieces consolidate on a single container and follow the same standard timeline.
Yes. Skagerak by Fritz Hansen runs a verified US trade programme. Net trade pricing for Tradition is shared after qualification (designer of record, project scope) and is set under the Skagerak by Fritz Hansen non-disclosure agreement applicable to all premium European outdoor specifiers.
Most Skagerak by Fritz Hansen collections, including Tradition, accept COM upholstery and bespoke dimensions within manufacturer tolerance. See the FF&E procurement workflow for the full COM and bespoke sequence, including fabric yardage, factory shipping, and lead-time impact.
Skagerak by Fritz Hansen specifies FSC teak that silvers naturally within 12-18 months of US outdoor exposure. No sealing is required; annual cleaning with a soft brush and mild soap is the only maintenance. Steel components are powder-coated to marine grade. Skagerak carries a 10-year structural warranty on teak and 5 years on powder-coated steel. US service life of the teak collections is typically 30-40 years with annual cleaning; the Fritz Hansen continuity has reinforced the catalog's contract specification.
