Chairs

Designed by Flemming Lassen in 1938, My Own Chair is an original and eye-catching piece of mid-century Danish modern design. Upon launch it received much praise for its sculptural form with distinctive wings, yet its complex two-part silhouette made it unsuitable for mass production until the advent of modern techniques. Its lumbar supportive, rounded, angled seat and extended backrest cocoon the sitter in comfort. Wooden legs and expert upholstery complete the design. A corresponding footrest adds to the sense of ease. Said to be Lassen’s favourite chair, it stood at the designer’s home until his death in 1984.

The My Own Chair Ottoman has been designed in the same spirit as Flemming Lassen’s original iconic chair, reflecting his love of rounded shapes, simple forms and precise detailing, to enable the full relaxation effect.

The Tired Man also known as "Den trætte mand" was launched at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition in 1936 and has since become an icon of Danish design. The epitome of craftsmanship and comfort, the characteristically curved armchair was designed by Flemming Lassen to feel “as warm and snug as a polar bear cub in the arms of its mother.” Relaunched in 2015, the award-winning design is offered in plush upholstery, including sheepskin in a nod to the original, and with natural or dark-oiled oak heartwood legs and front brass casters for easy movement. A corresponding footstool ensures further comfort. The Tired Man Lounge Chair is upholstered in Oeko-Tex® certified sheepskin from Skandilock*.

*The sheepskin is Oeko-Tex®certified by Skandilock, certificate no.: SE 23-317.

The Knitting Chair by Ib Kofod-Larsen, first launched as a limited edition in 1951, makes a triumphant return to the world of modern Danish design under Audo’s concept of “Modernism Reimagined”. This is the brand’s first foray into classic furniture. The chair’s sense of proportion and unparalleled quality makes it a natural choice to bring into contemporary interiors. The playful nature of the Knitting Chair serves to highlight its thoughtful design. Named for the elbow cut-outs that allow maximum comfort while knitting (or reading), the chair is clearly the work of a master designer.

Well-proportioned and well designed, the Elizabeth Lounge Chair profiles a majestic elegance that underpins its royal name. Originally called the Model U56, it was later dubbed Elizabeth Chair after Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip purchased two of them during an official visit to Denmark in 1958. The chair's sculpted armrests combined with the leather-upholstered low seat and sleigh-like back make it a prime example of Danish Modern.

Efficiently transporting and storing between 15 to 20 Co or Ready Dining Chairs, this durable powder-coated steel trolley is fitted with swivel castors that rotate 360 degrees for ease of use and direction of movement. Use the break to lock the wheels securely when storing chairs statically.

Arguably one of Ib Kofod-Larsen's best-known designs, The Seal is an elegant armchair typical of its time – and yet entirely timeless. The angled frame and armrests and leather upholstery put comfort at the fore, inviting lounging. And despite being made of heavy materials, it has a lightness to it; the shell appears to float inside the wooden frame. Named after the Swedish ski resort, Sälen, and not the animal, The Seal is a fine example of Ib Kofod-Larsen's organic design and focus on detail and comfort. The chair is available with a low or high back.

Originally dubbed Model 9, the Oda Chair was an ambitious design from the very beginning. Created by Arnold Madsen in around 1956, the aesthetic reinterpretation of an armchair has a complex horseshoe construction with an integrated headrest and beautifully incorporated armrests in wood. Offering comfortable support, the embracing design was initially – and mistakenly – attributed to Nanna Ditzel. In 2020 it was rightfully credited to Madsen. Constructed according to a vintage version as there are no drawings of the original design, the Oda Chair profiles a sublime level of craftsmanship, evident in the intricacy of its upholstery. Available with legs in natural oak or walnut.

The Tearoom Collection, designed for Audo by Nick Ross, is a study in minimalist luxury, offering indulgent retreats and mood-lifting comfort for a multitude of settings. Not only luxurious to sit in and beautiful to look at, the Tearoom Club Chair with a return swivel base is a functional addition to a space. Considered to the last detail, its open silhouette invites you to sit back and relax while its cocooning curves and richly detailed upholstery ensure a comfortable and supportive sitting position. Set on a recessed plinth base, its smooth, 190-degree return swivel function ensures full freedom of movement.
