Audo Knitting Lounge Chair
KNITTING LOUNGE CHAIR
KNITTING LOUNGE CHAIR
Designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen
A special edition of Ib Kofod-Larsen’s highly sought-after Knitting Chair.
Designed in 1951 and revered for its ergonomic comfort, this sculptural chair is offered in a new materiality that draws on its mid-century craftsmanship while catering to contemporary needs.
For the first time, the Knitting Chair is offered in black-stained solid oak with a lacquer finish that imparts a subtle gloss, and an ivory Barnum Bouclé upholstery. Minimal, soft and inviting, the tactile bouclé seat- and back-rest are in striking contrast with the timber base.
This thoughtful update emphasises the chair’s fine craftsmanship, textural wood-grain and its distinctive silhouette – originally designed to accommodate the movement of the arms when knitting.
DESIGNER
IB KOFOD-LARSEN
Ib Kofod-Larsen (1921-2003) was a key figure in Danish Modern design, though he remained in the shadow of icons like Wegner and Jacobsen.
Much of his work was created for international markets, making him better known abroad than in Denmark.
His designs were sophisticated, organic, and well-proportioned, with a purist’s attention to detail. Though he saw himself as an artisan rather than an academic, his work had a poetic, artistic quality.
He was deeply involved in every step of production, blending innovation with craftsmanship. Kofod-Larsen had a keen understanding of materials, often using teak, palisander, and leather to create furniture that felt as good as it looked.
His chairs, including The Penguin, The Seal, and the Elizabeth Lounge Chair, prioritized comfort and elegance, securing his legacy as one of Danish design’s most underrated yet brilliant minds.

FINISHES & MATERIAL
BARNUM BOUCLÉ 24
Woven from a cotton-wool blend, Barnum Bouclé is crafted with twisted, looped yarns for a durable, nubby surface finish that enhances the softness and comfort of the fabric. Available in a range of beautiful muted colours.
BLACK STAINED OAK
Black-stained solid oak with lacquer has undergone a staining process, resulting in a black surface to alter the natural colour of the wood. Coloured varnish is then applied to provide a smooth and glossy (gloss 30) surface, adding a layer of protection against wear and moisture.
