Eva, released in 1964, is the most iconic among his designs.

Eva’s frame is a sculptural silhouette – stiletto tapered legs, a gently curved backrest, and a trio of tapered vertical slats that are widest where lumbar support is needed. They are shockingly light yet consistently durable.

The chairs are just tall enough to impart a sense of formality without the imposing scale of a traditional high-back design, maintaining a profile suitable for everyday use.

This set has been newly reupholstered in a textured forest green fabric atop 1.5” high density foam cushions. They are comfortable, sturdy, and ready for their next generation of use.

This particular set is unmarked. Based on the build, we believe these chairs were made in the 1980s, by which point Koefoeds Hornslet had begun using tags on the underside of the seat rather than a stamp pressed into the frame. These tags were lost in a previous reupholstery. See less
