Ib Kofod-Larsen Wingback Lounge Chair — Sculptural Danish Modern Masterpiece
An uncommon and highly collectible example of Danish modern design, this Ib Kofod-Larsen wingback lounge chair captures the designer’s signature balance of sculptural form and effortless comfort. Known for his refined, organic approach to furniture, Kofod-Larsen created pieces that feel as light visually as they are substantial in craftsmanship—this chair is no exception.
The defining feature is its beautifully sculpted solid wood frame, with elegantly tapered legs, softly rounded edges, and open armrests that showcase the precision of Danish cabinetmaking. Every angle reveals a thoughtful interplay between structure and negative space, giving the chair a sense of movement and lightness rarely found in wingback forms.
Newly upholstered in luxurious green felted wool from Knoll, the chair brings a fresh, modern sensibility while honoring its mid-century roots. The tailored upholstery highlights the chair’s distinctive winged backrest, offering both visual drama and ergonomic support. Subtle button detailing across the back adds a refined touch, enhancing its architectural silhouette.
Why This Piece Stands Out
- Designer: Ib Kofod-Larsen
- Origin: Denmark, mid-20th century
- Material: Sculptural solid wood frame
- Upholstery: New Maharam green felt wool
- Design: Rare wingback form with open-frame construction
- Condition: Professionally restored and ready for daily use
Collector’s Perspective
Wingback chairs in Kofod-Larsen’s body of work are notably scarce—especially examples that retain or have been restored with such sensitivity to original form and proportion. This piece sits at the intersection of functional seating and collectible design, making it equally suited for a curated interior or a serious design collection.
Perfect For
- Mid-century modern interiors
- Danish modern collectors
- Statement lounge seating in living rooms or offices
- Interior Designers seeking sculptural, organic forms
This is more than a lounge chair—it’s a quiet statement of craftsmanship, proportion, and timeless Danish design philosophy. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece by one of the most respected designers of the Scandinavian modern movement.
