About this Item
Notes
Ib Kofod-Larsen( 1921 - 2003) was a popular Danish furniture designer known for his work created for G-Plan, a British company, and Faarup, a Danish company. His distinctive designs feature comfortable materials and simplistic lines, with circular seats and pointed legs. Kofod-Larsen's work became increasingly sought-after during the 1950s and 1960s, typically featuring organic and minimal pieces made specifically for the Swedish market. He formed part of a movement known as Danish Modern, but he went slightly under the radar as he worked in the shadow of Kaare Klint, Hans J. Wegner, Børge Mogensen, Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl and Nanna Ditzel. He was one of the greatest design brains to come from Denmark, and continued to design storage and furniture items in Sweden throughout the 1960s. He died in 2003.
