One of Denmark's most celebrated postwar designers, Kofod-Larsen was renowned for creating furniture that feels as inviting as it is visually refined, and this beautiful set is a perfect example of his philosophy.

The solid walnut-stained frame has been professionally refinished, revealing the wood's warmth and richness while highlighting the graceful, organic lines, tapered legs, and finely sculpted armrests that define the design. The chair retains its original reclining mechanism with three adjustable positions, allowing it to transition seamlessly from upright seating to a more relaxed lounging experience. Newly upholstered in a gray tone boucle fabric, the cushions provide a contemporary texture that complements the warmth of the walnut while offering exceptional comfort. The matching ottoman completes the design, creating a cohesive and inviting seating experience.

Thoughtful craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the elegantly joined frame to the exposed suspension system that lends the chair its distinctive lightness. Retaining its original manufacturer's stamp, this authentic example reflects the exceptional quality that established Ib Kofod-Larsen as one of the defining voices of Danish Modern design.

Equal parts functional and sculptural, this reclining chair and ottoman remain a timeless investment, celebrated for their craftsmanship, comfort, and enduring culture more than seventy years after their introduction.

Ottoman: 25.25” W x 20.25” D x 16” H
