Originally dubbed the U-56, the Elizabeth Ottoman by Ib Kofod Larsen is a classical and comfortable accent piece for use when reclining in the corresponding Elizabeth Chair, which takes its name from Queen Elizabeth II, who purchased the design during a visit to Copenhagen in 1962.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Ib Kofod-Larsen
Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921-2003) was a key figure in Danish Modern design, though he remained in the shadow of icons like Wegner and Jacobsen. Much of his work was created for international markets, making him better known abroad than in Denmark. His designs were sophisticated, organic, and well-proportioned, with a purist’s attention to detail. Though he saw himself as an artisan rather than an academic, his work had a poetic, artistic quality. He was deeply involved in every step of production, blending innovation with craftsmanship. Kofod-Larsen had a keen understanding of materials, often using teak, palisander, and leather to create furniture that felt as good as it looked. His chairs, including The Penguin, The Seal, and the Elizabeth Lounge Chair, prioritized comfort and elegance, securing his legacy as one of Danish design’s most underrated yet brilliant minds.
