First launched as a limited edition in 1951, the highly distinctive lounge chair unites traditional craftsmanship techniques with modern technology to form a stunning design of timeless, unforgettable quality. A striking, solid wood frame, in either oak or walnut, has been paired with inviting sheepskin upholstery; creating a beautiful showpiece that invites you to be seated, cosy and relaxed.
Finished with the same subtle details as the original, such as the sleek curved back and clever arm cut-outs specifically crafted for resting your elbows when knitting, the compact triangular frame does not take up too much space, perfect for creating a sculptural statement in both smaller and larger living spaces.

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.
