About This Piece

Vintage Design

A very rare and elegant lounge chair D200 and matching sofa D200 S designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen for the German firm G. Laauser, dating back to 1955. They represent Scandinavian mid-century modern design at its absolute finest.

Part of a limited production series, lounge chair and sofa are (as far as we know) never offered together as a set in recent times.

Both pieces feature Kofod-Larsen’s signature organic lines with beautifully sculpted walnut frames, executed with remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. One of the most impressive aspects of the design is the complete absence of visible screws or hardware, a testament to the extraordinary cabinetmaking techniques of the period.

The D200 chair belongs to an important family of lounge chairs designed by the famous ‘cult designer’ Ib Kofod Larsen, which also includes the celebrated Elizabeth and Sälen (Seal) chairs. While the Elizabeth chair (named after Queen Elizabeth II who purchased two of these chairs during a state visit in Denmark), and the Sälen chair were produced in fairly large numbers and gained international recognition, the Laauser D200 series remained exceptionally limited and relatively unknown. The D200 is aesthetically perhaps the most balanced and structurally the most convincing of these three famous designs, with proportions and construction achieving an exceptional harmony between elegance, comfort, and engineering. This makes surviving examples especially rare and highly sought after today. They are real collector items for the discerning connoisseur.

To preserve the authentic character of the set, the original walnut frames have been left untouched, retaining their rich patina and warm natural appearance developed over decades. The lounge chair and sofa have been carefully reupholstered in a premium handwoven wool fabric by Danish Art Weaving, offering exceptional comfort and a refined texture while remaining faithful to the original aesthetic.

Lounge chair: W75,5 x D75 x H69 cm | Seat height: 43 cm
Sofa: W171,5 x D71 x H71 cm | Seat height: 43 cm

Lounge chair and sofa are sold as a set.

About the Creator

Ib Kofod-Larsen

Furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen was born Denmark in 1921 and studied at the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen. In 1948, he won the Holmegaard glass competition as well as an annual award from the Danish Cabinetmakers Guild. The latter drew the attention of Danish furniture manufacturer Faarup Møbelfabrik, and Kofod-Larsen went on to create some of his most beautiful works for the company, including his rosewood Model 66 sideboard, during the 1950s. He also designed furniture for several other leading midcentury manufacturers, both at home and abroad, including High Wycombe, Christensen & Larsen, Carlo Gahrn, Bovenkamp, Petersens, and Fredericia Furniture.

Kofod-Larsen frequently worked with gorgeous woods, such as teak and rosewood, as well rich leathers. Clean, sculptural lines characterize much of his work. Notable designs include the U-56 or Elizabeth Chair (1956), composed of a light teak frame and upholstered leather that was purported to have been named for England’s Queen Elizabeth II after she purchased a pair during a visit to Denmark in 1958; as well as the airy and modern Penguin chair (1953). The latter (sometimes referred to as the Shell) features a curved back that embraces the sitter and was originally produced by Petersens in Denmark. It went on to also find great success with the Selig company, which imported and sold thousands of copies in various iterations (settees, dining chairs, and more in various woods and upholsteries) in the U.S. market starting in the 1950s. Kofod-Larsen’s striking teak and leather-upholstered Sälen (or Seal) easy chairs for OPE (also 1950s) have become increasingly popular on the vintage market in recent years.

Kofod-Larsen passed away in 2003. Today, the designer’s pieces have become more frequently collected, in large part due to Kofod-Larsen’s talent for honoring the innate qualities of his chosen materials.
