“Djursholm” Teak Armchair by Ib Kofod Larsen for OPE
Ib Kofod-Larsen for Olof Perssons Fåtöljindustri
Design: 1950s | Manufactured: 1960s
This armchair from the 1960s is a true gem. It is designed to focus on simplicity and functionality and boasts clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. Crafted from high-quality materials, such as teak and fabric (mainly a blend of wool and cotton), it exudes a timeless elegance that fits seamlessly into any modern home. The fabric has been woven at a slower rate and uses thicker wool yarns that have this volume and a deceptively unstructured appearance. Whether you want to create a cozy reading corner or add a Scandinavian style to your decor, this armchair will impress.
Furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen was born in Denmark in 1921 and studied at the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen. He was trained as an architect and was especially inspired by Danish furniture design, characterized by elegant, organic, sculptural shapes. Gorgeous woods, such as teak and rosewood, as well as rich leathers, are what he worked most with.
