About the Item

Introducing a true Danish Modern masterpiece: an ultra-rare "Peacock" or "Hoop" chair designed by the incomparable Ib Kofod Larsen for Selig. This iconic armchair has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration process featuring new upholstery in a fabulous white cotton bouclé by Knoll Fabrics, making it the perfect addition to any modern home. Constructed from a mix of solid and molded plywood European walnut and ebonized in a silky, jet-black gel stain this now iconic accent chair is both durable and stylish, comfortable and utterly breathtaking from every angel. Ib Kofod-Larsen was a venerated architect who formed part of a movement known as Danish Modern. Larsen was a purist and considered himself as more of an artisan than an architect or designer and his extensive catalog is proof of that. He was respected for having an exceptional understanding of materials and an eye for the potential of the wood and the quality of the raw materials he used. He often worked in different types of wood – mainly teak and palisander in combination with real leather and other organic materials like cotton which is why we chose to add the cotton bouclé to this chair in homage to the original design and intention. The Selig Manufacturing Co was at the cutting edge of contemporary furniture during the mid 20th century. Selig Furniture was founded by Mendell Selig and Samuel Wexler in Gardner, Massachusetts in 1931. By the 1950s the company had grown to become one of America's leading importers and producers of contemporary furniture. The company focused on the high end designs being produced in Denmark and other Scandinavian countries. Their product range epitomized the simple, elegant and airy forms typical of post-war Danish furniture design on display in this exquisite "Peacock" chair's aesthetic and form. With it's instantly recognizable winged arms, new upholstery and freshly ebonized frame this icon of Danish design is perfect for both collectors and designers alike searching for an authentic Larsen piece that is ready for a literal lifetime more of use. Equal parts comfort and aesthetics this lounger can blend seamlessly against a multitude of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Minimalism and everything in between. Historically these chairs do not come along often and are quick to sell. Make it yours today before it's gone forever. ---Dimensions--- Width: 33.5 in / 85.09 cm Depth: 28 in / 71.12 cm Height: 33 in / 83.82 cm Seat Height: 18 in / 45.72 cm Arm Height: 20 in / 50.8 cm This ultra-stylish "Peacock" chair has recently undergone a comprehensive restoration process. The mix of solid and molded plywood European walnut frame and legs have been ebonized in a silky, jet-black gel stain and shows only minor nicks too light to be discerned by camera. The cushions, reupholstered in a kind to the touch white cotton bouclé by Knoll Fabrics, is in showroom never-sat-in condition and perfectly offsets the rich, ebonized finish of the frame. The cushions have been replaced with medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity. This iconic "Hoop" chair is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to it's recent restoration process.

Ib Kofod-Larsen

Furniture maker and architect Ib Kofod-Larsen was one of the greatest design minds to emerge from mid-century Denmark, and his impact was felt across the world, especially in the United States. Kofod-Larsen, who is known for his exemplary seating, tables and storage solutions, understood that the attention to detail, quality materials and functional design ethos of the Scandinavian modernism style he followed would become part of a major international movement.

Due to his foresight and innovation, Kofod-Larsen was one of the best-selling Danish designers in the U.S. in the 1950s, when mid-century modernism was at its most popular.

Originally trained as a cabinetmaker, Kofod-Larsen later studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and was most interested in designing practical yet graceful furniture, although he also dabbled in things like wallpaper and textiles. He favored natural grains and woods like teak and rosewood combined with leather, steel and fabric upholsteries to create inviting pieces. Working with manufacturers such as Faarup Møbelfabrik, Christensen & Larsen and Bovenkamp, he brought his sculptural aesthetic to the world.

Some of his seating designs have earned legendary status: The U-56 chair (1956) was renamed the Elizabeth because England’s Queen Elizabeth II is said to have picked up a pair during a 1958 trip to Denmark. With OPE Möbler, he created the Seal chair (1956) with a wooden frame shaped around leather upholstery. The sculptural Penguin chair (1953), produced by Selig and named for its curved back, became Denmark’s most frequently exported piece of furniture to the U.S. at the time. Its bentwood shell echoes the work of Kofod-Larsen’s modernist contemporaries Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames, while its options as a dining, lounging and rocking chair offer versatility for the home.

As mid-century modern furniture experiences a fresh wave of popularity in the U.S. — although, one could argue that it never really went away — Kofod-Larsen’s timeless pieces are among the most coveted vintage finds. Several of his designs continue to be produced, such as the Penguin chair, which has been manufactured by Brdr. Petersen since 2012.
