Knitting chair, 1951
Knitting chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen for Menu.
Ib Kofod-Larsen's Knitting chair first debuted in 1951 but is now making a return under Menu's concept of “Modernism Reimagined”. The chair was first produced as a limited edition, launching at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' Guild Furniture Exhibition and as a result, quickly became a valuable collector's edition.
The low lounge chair is constructed with an exposed, triangular frame with gently curved seat and back, featuring signature cut-outs to accommodate the elbows when reading (or knitting). The chair's enveloping and well-proportioned form, combined with the ingenious armrests, allows for maximum comfort.
