Description

The Knitting Chair by Audo Copenhagen is a cleverly crafted lounge chair designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1951. The minimalist chair captures the light-hearted spirit of 1950s modernism from every angle. The name refers to the sculptural cut-outs in the backrest, designed to support the elbows while knitting – or, in today’s world while reading a book or scrolling on your phone.

Part of Audo Copenhagen’s Everyday Icons collection, the updated Knitting Chair pairs a subtly glossy, lacquered oak frame with a soft, inviting seat. Upholstered in ivory Barnum Bouclé, the textured fabric adds a gentle contrast to the dark wood base. This refined update highlights the chair’s airy elegance and distinctive silhouette more beautifully than ever.

Ib Kofod-Larsen

Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921-2003) was one of the pioneers of the Danish modern in the 1950s. Kofod-Larsen received his architecture degree from the Royal Danish Academy, and he also worked as a designer – one of his best-known works is the Knitting Chair from 1951. Rather than a regional phenomenon, Kofod-Larsen saw Scandinavian design as part of international modernism, and he became one of the best-selling Danish architects in the United States in the 1950s. He also collaborated with many furniture manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan.

Shipping & Delivery

If all the items in your order are in stock, your order will be dispatched from our warehouse in Finland within two working days. The estimated delivery time is shown on the product pages and at checkout.

The shipping cost is based on the destination, weight, and volume of the shipment and will be calculated automatically. You will see the exact rate, available shipping options and estimated delivery date at checkout once you have filled in your address details.

Orders shipped to Australia are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST) as following:

For private customers:

  • Orders of AU$1,000 or less (goods value only, excluding shipping and taxes):
    • A 10% GST is included in the prices and paid at checkout.
  • Orders over AU$1,000:
    • GST and any applicable import duties are collected by Australian customs upon arrival and must be paid by the recipient. Since GST is collected by customs, it is deducted from the order total at checkout and shown as a separate line item in the cost breakdown.

Please note that our product pages display prices including 10% GST. As a result, the AU$1,000 threshold effectively applies to orders with a displayed goods value of AU$1,100 or more.
