Ib Kofod-Larsen, born in 1921, was a Danish born architect and furniture designer. Graduating from the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, he opened his own studio in 1948. Kofod-Larsen's prolific body of work has enshrined him alongside other mid-century masters like Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, and Borge Mogensen.
Kofod-Larsen's lifetime work demonstrates simplicity of line coupled with the use of comfortable materials, whilst he worked particularly closely with his craftsman in order to ensure the quality of every product he designed. Many of his designs became particularly sought-after during the 1950's and 60's, again becoming popular in more recent years due to the upsurge in demand for high quality Scandinavian modernist furniture.
