The Knitting Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen, first launched as a limited edition in 1951, makes a triumphant return to the world of modern Danish design under Audo’s concept of “Modernism Reimagined”. This is the brand’s first foray into classic furniture. The chair’s sense of proportion and unparalleled quality makes it a natural choice to bring into contemporary interiors. The playful nature of the Knitting Chair serves to highlight its thoughtful design. Named for the elbow cut-outs that allow maximum comfort while knitting (or reading), the chair is clearly the work of a master designer.
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.
