The history of the IB Kofod Larsen Easy Chair
 
The IB Kofod Larsen Easy Chair is an iconic mid-century modern furniture design, created by the renowned Danish designer Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1958. Known for its luxurious, sculptural silhouette and exceptional comfort, the Easy Chair has become a celebrated symbol of Scandinavian design.
 
Kofod-Larsen, who was a central figure in the Danish design renaissance of the 1950s and 60s, conceived the Easy Chair as a refined expression of relaxation and repose. The chair's distinctive, winged profile is achieved through the use of a molded plywood frame, which gently envelops the sitter in a warm, cosseting embrace. This organic form is then supported by a slender, swiveling base, allowing for fluid movement and flexibility.
 
Kofod-Larsen's careful attention to ergonomics is evident in the chair's gently contoured surfaces, which provide excellent back and neck support. The addition of supple, high-quality leather upholstery further enhances the Easy Chair's comfort and visual appeal, creating a harmonious blend of modernist aesthetics and uncompromising craftsmanship.
