Description

IB KOFOD-LARSEN (Denmark, 1921 - 2003). Armchair, ca. 1960. Teak wood, fabric upholstery. Needs refinishing. Measurements: 80 x 72 x 72 cm. Armchair made of teak wood with fabric upholstery. Design by Niels Koefoed, refined and clearly 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. Danish furniture designer and factory owner Niels Koefoed created a wide range of dining furniture in the typical Danish mid-20th century modern style. The KoefoedsHornslet furniture factory, named after the town in which it was located, was founded by Koefoed's father, Einar Koefoed, in the 1920s. The town of Hornslet had three furniture producers at the turn of the 20th century, each specialising in different areas of the design industry: fine furniture, upholstery and joinery. KoefoedsHornslet was dedicated to the production of fine furniture, although Niels' most popular designs were dining chairs. In 1964, Koefoed designed the modernist Eva Chair, which featured three vertical slats in the backrest, and was produced by Koefoeds in a choice of teak or rosewood. The "Eva" chair was part of a series of three dining chairs, the other two being the highly organic "Ingrid" chair (1960s) and the ladder-back "Lis" chair (1961), all of which are believed to be named after important women at Koefoed's. In 2004, KoefoedHornslet moved production to Thailand, where it continues today.
