Title: Set of Four (4) Danish Modern "Lis" Ladderback Dining Chairs in Teak by Niels Koefoed for Koefoeds Hornslet, Denmark, c. 1960's
About: Introducing a limited set of four Danish Modern "Lis" ladderback side chairs in stunning 100% original, vintage condition. Beautifully proportioned and featuring bow-tie shaped "ribs" along the backrest and gentle bow-shaped legs - all carved from solid Burmese Teak. The tall and beautifully angled frame maintains comfort while showcasing a understated yet elegant form that Neils Koefoed is synonymous with.
Danish furniture designer and factory owner Niels Koefoed created a wide range of dining room furniture in the typical Danish Modern style during the Mid-Century period. Following in the footsteps of his father Einar Koefoed, who founded Koefoeds Hornslet in 1926, Niels began designing furniture in the mid 1950's. By the early 60's Niels Koefoed was owner and operator of Koefoeds Hornslet as well as chief designer creating some of his most iconic models such as the "Eva", "Lis" and "Ingrid" chairs (all named after important women in Niels' life).
Koefoed Hornselt, named after both the founder's name and the town it was located in, was initially dedicated to producing fine furniture, although Niels’ most popular designs eventually pushed dining room chair production to the fore of their business. In 2004, Koefoed Hornslet moved production to Thailand, where it continues to this very day. Although a number of Koefoed’s designs are produced by furniture manufacturer Casø, it is the original Mid-Century era productions that are in great demand on the vintage market.
Ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for an entirely untouched "Lis" chair set that is in 100% original, vintage condition this ladderback set can easily complete a larger existing set. The warm teak woodgrains and iconic design make this exceptional "Lis" chair set perfect for a myriad of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Minimalism and everything in between. Add them to your set or make them the stand-alone set you've been searching for - either way make them yours today before they're gone forever.
