Created by one of Denmark’s great design minds, this exclusive reissue from Audo is in homage to Kofod-Larsen’s classic lounge chair, a fine example of the signature style that flourished in the golden age of Danish Modern design. Paired with the footrest, which inherits elements of the chair’s sculptural form, the Elizabeth pieces invite you to sit back and relax.
The furniture set’s distinctive frames are expertly carved from solid oak or walnut, then polished and oiled by hand, resulting in a silky smooth surface that both pleases the eye and extends its lifespan. Whether placed in a cultivated living room or cosy cottage loft, the Elizabeth Lounge Chair and Ottoman are sure to add stately elegance to your space.
Ib Kofod-Larsen, born in 1921, was a Danish born architect and furniture designer. Graduating from the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, he opened his own studio in 1948. Kofod-Larsen's prolific body of work has enshrined him alongside other mid-century masters like Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, and Borge Mogensen.
Kofod-Larsen's lifetime work demonstrates simplicity of line coupled with the use of comfortable materials, whilst he worked particularly closely with his craftsman in order to ensure the quality of every product he designed. Many of his designs became particularly sought-after during the 1950's and 60's, again becoming popular in more recent years due to the upsurge in demand for high quality Scandinavian modernist furniture.
