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.
