Ib Kofod Larsen Penguin Chair

$ 1,595
  • Description
    The Penguin Lounge Chair is a rare Danish Modern icon designed by Danish furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953. Newly refinished back rest, black enameled frame, and new Italian leather seat.

    When furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen designed the Penguin Chair in 1953, he focused on the person who was to sit in it. Its curved back and angled seat cradle the body, and its otherwise remarkably straightforward design provides a surprisingly high level of comfort. The Penguin Lounge Chair has a graphic purity that enables it to interact seamlessly with other furniture pieces.

    The Penguin Chair is synonymous with considered and lasting design, crafted from high-quality materials that add character and durability. The slightly oversized curved back and angled seat of the Penguin Chair cradle the body and provide a surprisingly high level of comfort in the otherwise very simple design.

    Dimensions: 21ʺW × 25ʺD × 28ʺH
    Seat Height: 16.5" in

    About the designer:

    Ib Kofod-Larsen
    Architect Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921-2003) had a successful career in the 1950s and 1960s when Danish design was flourishing across the world, transforming the simple and straightforward into unusually elegant furniture. He had an exceptional understanding of materials and an eye for the potential of the wood and the quality of the raw materials he used.

    His furniture is sophisticated and well-proportioned with beautiful silhouettes and sculptural, organic lines and curves.
