Ib Kofod-Larsen was a venerated architect who formed part of a movement known as Danish Modern. Larsen was a purist and considered himself as more of an artisan than an architect or designer and his extensive catalog is proof of that. He was respected for having an exceptional understanding of materials and an eye for the potential of the wood and the quality of the raw materials he used. He often worked in different types of wood – mainly teak and palisander in combination with real leather which led us to re-upholster this set in an authentic Italian leather hide.

Today, Ib Kofod-Larsen is called one of the most underrated - but most exciting - names on the Danish design scene. He had a successful career in the 50s and 60s - when Danish design was flourishing across the world. He drew, sculpted, made prototypes, was involved in production and participated in the entire process down to every test and launch. He was a creative designer, maybe one of the greatest designers in the golden age of Danish design. He took an innovative approach. Not just to furniture, but to ways of thinking about furniture and this intention is on full display with this exceptional set of architecturally stunning chairs.

Elegantly shaped, expertly restored and ultra rare this set of dining chairs by Kofod-Larsen are the very epitome of "one-of-a-kind". Able to blend seamlessly against a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Boho Chic this set is ideal for those who are limited in space but unwilling to compromise on style. Make them yours today before they're truly gone forever.
