Ib Kofod-Larsen 'Trol' Sideboard in Rosewood, Sweden 1958

Creator: Ib Kofod-Larsen - Säffle Möbelfabrik
Offered by: H. Gallery

Description
This very sought after model with it’s V-shaped legs is truly a timeless piece that looks remarkably modern for it's age. Produced in Sweden by the Säffle factory in the late 1950s, after buying a left over stock of veneer from another factory, presumably only 40 or 50 of these have been made.

The pallisander veneer on this specific version has a beautiful expressive ‘drawing’ that at the same time isn't overbearing. It has just the right amount of 'look at me'. With it’s size and 4 doors it creates a lot of shelving space. Outstanding production quality and attention to detail.

About the designer:
Furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen was born Denmark in 1921 and studied at the Danish Royal Academy in Copenhagen. In 1948, he won the Holmegaard glass competition as well as an annual award from the Danish Cabinetmakers Guild. The latter drew the attention of Danish furniture manufacturer Faarup Møbelfabrik, and Kofod-Larsen went on to create some of his most beautiful works for the company, including his rosewood Model 66 sideboard, during the 1950s. He also designed furniture for several other leading midcentury manufacturers, both at home and abroad, including High Wycombe, Christensen & Larsen, Carlo Gahrn, Bovenkamp, Petersens, and Fredericia Furniture. Kofod-Larsen frequently worked with gorgeous woods, such as teak and rosewood, as well rich leathers. Clean, sculptural lines characterize much of his work. Notable designs include the U-56 or Elizabeth Chair (1956). Kofod-Larsen passed away in 2003. Today, the designer’s pieces have become more frequently collected, in large part due to Kofod-Larsen’s talent for honoring the innate qualities of his chosen materials.
