Details
The Audo Copenhagen Elizabeth Lounge Chair carries one of those rare furniture origin stories that's actually true - Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip bought two of these during their 1958 visit to Denmark, and the chair's been called the Elizabeth ever since. Designer Ib Kofod-Larsen originally named it Model U56, but honestly, the royal association fits because there's something genuinely regal about how this chair commands a room without trying too hard. The sculpted armrests flow into the frame with this organic curve that feels almost like the wood grew that way naturally, and the low leather seat combined with that distinctive sleigh-back silhouette makes it unmistakably mid-century Danish Modern. What strikes you when you actually sit in it is how Kofod-Larsen understood that comfort and elegance don't have to compete - the seat height at 37cm and armrest positioning at 57cm create this perfect recline angle where you can settle in for long conversations or reading sessions without your back complaining an hour later. The construction quality becomes obvious pretty quickly when you spend time with this chair. The combination of foam, felt, quilt foam, and pocket springs creates layered comfort that supports without feeling overly firm or that sinky softness that loses shape after a few months. You can choose between natural oak or walnut for the frame, both with oil finishes that bring out the wood grain depth while protecting against daily wear. The upholstery options give you real choices depending on your lifestyle - Logan bouclé in flint or jasmine offers that luxurious cotton-wool blend texture that's both structured and incredibly soft to touch, made from 66% recycled cotton for anyone conscious about materials. Hallingdal 65 fabric brings Nanna Ditzel's 1965 design into the mix with its exceptionally durable wool-viscose blend that handles heavy use while keeping its color brilliance. For leather lovers, the Dakar aniline options in brown or black develop that beautiful patina over time where the chair actually gets better looking as it ages rather than just showing wear. The dimensions work surprisingly well in different room sizes - at 72cm wide and 77cm deep, it's substantial enough to feel like a proper lounge chair but not so oversized that it dominates smaller living rooms or bedrooms. Audo Copenhagen approaches furniture with deep respect for Danish design heritage while keeping things relevant for how people actually live today. Their reissue of Ib Kofod-Larsen's Elizabeth Lounge Chair reflects this philosophy perfectly - they're not just reproducing vintage pieces for nostalgia's sake but bringing back designs that genuinely work in contemporary spaces. Kofod-Larsen himself was one of those designers who stayed somewhat under the radar compared to Wegner or Jacobsen, but his work had this sophisticated, organic quality and purist attention to detail that really holds up decades later. He saw himself as an artisan rather than an academic, deeply involved in every production step and obsessed with understanding materials like teak, palisander, and leather. Audo Copenhagen honors that craftsmanship approach by maintaining the same construction standards and material quality that made the original Elizabeth Chair special, ensuring each piece feels as considered and well-made as when it first caught royal attention in 1958.
