Armchair, ca. 1960.
Teak wood, fabric upholstery.
Needs refinishing.
Measurements: 80 x 72 x 72 cm.
Armchair made of teak wood with fabric upholstery. Designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen, it is refined and distinctly modern, with a certain organic air typical of Danish design of the period. The wood, simply polished, is expressed in all its natural beauty. The body has a high, straight, sloping backrest, separated from the closed arms, with right-angled upper armrests.
Ib Kofod-Larsen was a Danish designer who was active mainly during the 1950s and 1960s, creating pieces even more desirable today than at the time of their production. Kofod-Larsen designed mainly storage and seating furniture for the Swedish market, although he was not a great success in his time because his organic design was too extreme for the taste of his time. In Denmark, on the other hand, his creations for the firm Faarup gained immediate recognition.
