Hoop Chairs, a Pair, by Ib Kofod-Larsen for Selig, Denmark, C. 1964
-
Description
Rare Pair of All-Original IB Kofod-Larsen Hoop Chairs in Walnut & Cobalt
Offered here is a rare and exceptional pair of IB Kofod-Larsen’s iconic Hoop Chairs, crafted in solid walnut and featuring their original cobalt blue patterned cushions and backrests. And listen—when we say clean, we mean “Did these just time travel from a 1960s Danish showroom?” kind of clean.
The woodgrain? Insanely good.
The original straps? Still taut like they hit Pilates every morning.
The vintage Danish control buttons? Still embedded in the frames like little mid-century merit badges.
There are knockoffs of this model floating around, but let’s be clear: this is the real deal.
The Hoop Chair is a masterclass in Scandinavian organic form—fluid, sculptural, and impossibly elegant. Kofod-Larsen’s take on the modern lounge chair feels equal parts furniture and artwork. That curved frame? It cradles you. The negative space between the spindles? Light dances through it. And the proportions? Chef’s kiss.
Ib Kofod-Larsen was one of Denmark’s most celebrated mid-century designers, known for his warm, sophisticated silhouettes and an uncanny understanding of ergonomics. Though less of a household name than Hans Wegner or Borge Mogensen, he’s earned serious design-world clout in recent years, with pieces placed alongside the likes of Finn Juhl, Arne Vodder, Kai Kristiansen, and Hans Wegner in elite collections.
Unlike many of his peers, Kofod-Larsen often designed for export markets, especially the U.S. and U.K., which is why his work has that extra splash of drama—like Danish design wearing red lipstick.
This is the only all-original walnut-framed pair on the market right now. No refinishing, no reupholstery, no Frankensteining. Just pure, untouched mid-century magic—like finding a vintage Porsche 912 with the original paint and leather.
Perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone who likes their seating rare, refined, and a little rebellious. - More Information
