Dezeen Showroom: Danish brand Menu has relaunched the mid-century Knitting lounge chair by furniture designer Ib Kofod-Larsen with contemporary sheepskin upholstery.
Menu's reissue of the Knitting chair is intended to put "a modern spin on the iconic design", which was developed by Kofod-Larsen in 1951.
In addition to the updated sheepskin upholstery, the low-slung seat is now also available with a natural oak, dark-stained oak or walnut frame.
The Knitting chair was originally designed as a limited edition piece, which makes it a sought-after collector's item.
It is distinguished by the distinctive cut-outs in its backrest, allowing users to rest their elbows while knitting.
The chair features a gently curved seat and slanted back, which Kofod-Larsen designed for optimal comfort, while the compact, triangular frame makes it ideally suited to small spaces.
Its new sheepskin upholstery is available in three shades, but for a more traditional look the chair is also available with leather upholstery in three colours.
"Offering optimal sitting comfort and handmade in Sweden by skilled craftspeople using a careful combination of traditional and modern craftsmanship techniques, the Knitting chair's masterful proportion and unexpected, sculptural form bring personality to any room – and a sense of timeless design of the highest quality," Menu explained.
