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.
