vintage 1950s "elisabeth" u-56 chair
ib kofod larsen for christensen & larsen teak and leather W 80cm, D 74cm, H 70cm
A rare design classic, the Elisabeth chair was designed in 1956 and exhibited at the Copenhagen Cabinet Makers' Guild Exibition in the same year. This is an early example. |
|
|
The luxurious, distinctive shape of the seat and sculpted, embracing arms make this chair a striking adornment to any interior.
Kofod Larsen's most celebrated achievement, the curved frame, perfectly executed joins and angled dowelling are the work of a master craftsman. | |
|
Subtly reconditioned, the original black leather with minor patina consistent with age, the teak a rich golden colour.
The back padding is slightly compressed by use but the comfort provided by this chair is unaffected.
| |
|
The original webbing is intact, firm and in good condition, the teak frame absolutely sound. The leather has no tears or holes. | |
|
A remnant of the original paper label is affixed to the underside, slightly yellowed by age. | |
