Knitting Lounge Chair, Black Oak

Knitting Lounge Chair, Black Oak

Designer 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 emphasizes the chair’s fine craftsmanship, textural woodgrain and its distinctive silhouette – originally designed to accommodate the movement of the arms when knitting.

A modern take on Ib Kofod-Larsen’s sculptural classic

Kofod-Larsen’s mastery of form and function, and his exceptional craftsmanship, are retained in this special edition. Effortlessly combining heritage and contemporary aesthetics, the new version of the chair both preserves and evolves a cherished Danish design. Through Everyday Icons another chapter is added to the Knitting Chair’s story — respectfully adapting it for today’s standards of quality, comfort and aesthetics.

Originally a collector’s item, the Everyday Icons edition of the Knitting Chair is reimagined in modern materials and finishes that honor its legacy while increasing its accessibility for a new generation.

Danish Modernism

Despite an initially limited release, the Knitting Chair quickly became an icon of Danish innovation and craftsmanship thanks to its ergonomic comfort and striking silhouette. The distinctive open-arm construction was intended to accommodate the natural movement of the arms when knitting, giving the piece its name.
