The Penguin lounge chair, red stained oak
Description
Audo Copenhagen's The Penguin lounge chair may just have taken a cue from its friendly namesake in the animal kingdom — and like the bird it's named after, this chair certainly can't fly either! What the chair lacks in flight, it more than makes up for in other ways, chief among them an incredible sitting comfort. The ergonomically shaped back and seat cradle the body so well that you'll happily settle into the lounge chair's embrace for a good long while.
Designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953, The Penguin is now considered one of the masterpieces of the mid-century era. To the delight of design lovers everywhere, Audo Copenhagen has brought this rare Danish classic back within reach of anyone who appreciates good design. Representing Scandinavian design, The Penguin lounge chair finds its place in a living room reading nook, a bedroom, or the lobby of a hotel or restaurant.

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.
