Title: Set of Two (2) Danish Modern Ebonized Lounge Chairs in Bouclé Attributed to Ib Kofod Larsen for Selig, Denmark, c. 1950's
About: This rare pair of ebonized lounge chairs, attributed to Ib Kofod-Larsen for Selig, beautifully embodies the refined elegance and sculptural minimalism of mid-century Danish design. Each chair features a sleek, black ebonized wood frame with graceful, tapered legs and a distinctive angled backrest that flows seamlessly into the seat. The generous cushions have been newly upholstered in soft, textured oatmeal bouclé fabric, providing luxurious comfort and a warm neutral contrast against the dark frame.
Ib Kofod-Larsen was one of Denmark’s most celebrated designers of the 1950s, known for his ability to create pieces that combined ergonomic comfort with poetic, organic forms. His collaborations with manufacturers like Selig produced furniture that was both timeless and highly collectible. These lounge chairs capture the essence of his aesthetic—clean lines, exceptional proportions, and a perfect balance of structure and softness.
The pair is ideal as statement seating in a living room, reading nook, or modern lounge area. Their sculptural presence and comfortable scale make them equally at home in Scandinavian, mid-century modern, or contemporary interiors.
