This set of two modernist chairs from the Lis series was designed by Niels Koefoed for the Danish manufacturer Koefoed Hornslet in 1961. The chairs are made of dark, noble rosewood. The upholstery is made of high-quality brown leather. They were designed as dining chairs, but due to their elegant shape, they will fit equally well in other parts of the home or office. The chairs have a high backrest with ergonomic horizontal slats and a comfortable seat, which contributes to high comfort during use. The chairs have burnt signatures.
