About the Item

Rare easy chair by Danish architects Eva & Nils Koppel made in the early 1950s and manufactured by Johannes Larsen. The chair is made from solid stained beech and has been reupholstered in custom made wool textile handmade in Denmark by Kjellerup weavers. Beautifully sculpted chair with many beautiful details such as the elegant wing-shaped backrest and the brass cups allowing the rear legs to support the floating seat. The chair has been completely refinished and upholstered in Denmark by skilled craftsmen. A Danish Modern gem that is as comfortable for relaxing as it is beautiful. Eva Koppel was, along with Nanna Ditzel, one of the most prominent female designers in the Danish Modern movement in the mid 20th century. In the late 1930s she studied under Alvar Aalto and together with her husband Niels Koppel she was responsible for several famous buildings in Copenhagen. Among other important buildings in Denmark, architect couple Eva and Nils Koppel designed the famous Langelinie restaurant in Copenhagen. In 1955, Eva Koppel was awarded the Eckersberg Medal. From 1951 to 1973, she was vice-chairman of the board for the Design School for Women ("Tegne- og Kunstindustriskolen for Kvinder"), and in 1972 she became a member of the Academy.
