The Knitting Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen, first launched as a limited edition in 1951, makes a triumphant return to the world of modern Danish design.
The Knitting Chair is beautiful from every angle, making it easy to place anywhere in a room. Given the chair’s enveloping comfort, it has a relatively small footprint, which makes it an easy fit in compact interiors as well as in more spacious ones. The clean, sculptural lines achieved today in collaboration with skilled craftspeople in Sweden, and the high-end, natural materials make the Knitting Chair an unforgettable piece of Danish design. The solid oak frame is available in Natural Oak and Dark Stained Oak upholstered in selected leather and fabric combinations.
