Larsen Shell Chair, Black Italian Leather/Walnut
Larsen Shell Mid-Century Modern Chair
A faithful reproduction of the Danish Mid Century Modern classic. Originally designed by IB Kofod Larsen in 1952, this chair integrates atomic ranch styling with Danish mid-century modern design, making it a standout accent piece.
Making the Icon
Created by IB Kofod Larsen in 1952, the Larsen Shell chair is notable for its prominent upholstered back. Beyond its pop art design, the chair's backward pitch and intricate wood frame, combined with the cushioned seat and back, offer practical comfort. Kardiel’s reproduction adheres closely to the original 1952 design, ensuring durability and great design features.
Seating in the Kardiel IB Kofod Larsen Shell Chair allows for a slight recline. The seat and back are angled and molded to match the original design's curvature, providing a comfortable seating experience. The frame is made from kiln-dried Solid Genuine American Black Walnut Hardwood, showcasing its natural wood grain and color. This high-quality reproduction includes all the essential construction points for long-lasting use.
Genuine Italian Leather
High-grade Italian leather is used on all surfaces of the chair. This type of leather offers a realistic grain and a softer feel, enhancing comfort.
