Product Description
The Penguin Fully Upholstered Dining Chair from Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) represents the most luxurious interpretation of Ib Kofod-Larsen's mid-century masterpiece. This comprehensive adaptation preserves the iconic silhouette first introduced in 1953—with its distinctive penguin "flipper" profile—while enveloping both seat and backrest in premium upholstery. The result is a sophisticated dining chair that honors its Danish Modern heritage while offering enhanced comfort and textural richness for contemporary interiors.
The chair's graceful form maintains Kofod-Larsen's exceptional sense of proportion and visual lightness despite the additional upholstery. Available in an extensive range of premium textiles from world-class European manufacturers or luxurious leather options in various finishes, the chair offers unparalleled customization possibilities with hundreds of upholstery combinations. The subtle separation between seat and backrest creates a refined visual detail that emphasizes the chair's thoughtful construction while enhancing its sculptural quality.
Measuring 22.05" W × 18.5" D × 32.28" H with an 18.5" seat height, the chair combines ideal dining proportions with exceptional comfort provided by high-density foam cushioning throughout. The precision-crafted steel framework creates a stable foundation while contributing to the chair's visual dynamism through clean, geometric lines. Every aspect of the design reflects Kofod-Larsen's philosophy that furniture should prioritize the physical comfort of the user—a principle that secured the original Penguin's status as an American bestseller despite its creator remaining somewhat underrecognized in his native Denmark.
Perfect for upscale dining environments, exclusive hospitality settings, or residential interiors seeking sophisticated seating with historical significance, the Penguin Fully Upholstered Dining Chair represents Danish design at its most refined. This thoughtful reissue by Audo Copenhagen introduces Kofod-Larsen's artistic yet practical approach to a new generation of design enthusiasts who appreciate furniture that combines narrative richness with everyday functionality—pieces that not only enhance our spaces but also our experience within them.
