Knitting Lounge Chair, Black Oak

Description

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.
