Description

The understated Seal Lounge Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen combines organic design with exceptional comfort. Well-proportioned with a sculptural silhouette, it was initially designed for the Swedish furniture company Olof Persons Fåtöljindustri in the mid-50s, which invited Kofod-Larsen to produce a chair that would become a commercial success.

Originally named Sälen after the Swedish ski resort, the Seal is considered one of Kofod-Larsen’s most well-known designs. Displaying an angled frame, an inviting seat and a lightness that confutes its stability, the timeless lounge chair demonstrates the designer’s strength in understanding the potential of wood and raw materials.

The chair is available with a low or high back.

Dimensions: H: 73, SH: 40, Arm H: 61, W: 80, D: 77 cm

Materials: Oak or Walnut, plastic, steel, solid beech, plywood,
foam, felt, quilt foam, pocket springs, rubber. The chair is available in choice of 3 fabrics.

Danish-born architect and furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921–2003) earned his architecture degree from the Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen, opening his own studio in Copenhagen in 1948. A prominent figure in Danish Modernism alongside such masters as Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Finn Juhl and Nanna Ditzel, Kofod-Larsen viewed Scandinavian design not as a regional phenomenon but as part of international modernism. He enjoyed great success internationally, becoming the best-selling Danish architect in the US in the 50s, working with furniture manufacturers in Germany, Sweden, Japan, the US and the UK, and exhibiting throughout Europe and the US.
