Larsen Shell Chair, Urban Coral/Ash

Larsen Shell Mid-Century Modern Chair

An extraordinary reproduction of the Danish Mid Century Modern icon. This original pop art design was created by IB Kofod Larsen in 1952. Seamlessly integrate atomic ranch styling with a touch of Danish mid century modern design into your setting in the form of this brilliant accent chair.

Making the Icon

Originally designed by IB Kofod Larsen in 1952, the Larsen Shell chair is easily recognized by its domineering upholstered back. The Shell chair is more than pop art design. The backwards pitch of the intricate and sweeping wood frame combined with the cushioned upholstered seat and back provide a practical comfortable seating option. Kardiel’s reproduction of the iconic mid century modern 1952 design is made in true form to the original. It is no accident that this reproduction has the most quality features, all designed to ensure long lasting service and great design.

When you take a seat in the Kardiel IB Kofod Larsen Shell Chair you recline slightly. The seat and back are angled and molded to the exact curvature and dimension recreating the soft upholstered seating experience originally intended. The frame is constructed of kiln dried Solid Genuine American Black Walnut Hardwood in its natural unstained wood grain and color. This high quality reproduction features all of the quality construction points and has the good posture of civility and solid form at a fraction of the original cost.

About Vintage Tailored Twill

Twill is an interwoven knit fabric. The thread takes turns in an over and under weave forming a crooked yet overall lineal rectangle pattern that can be discerned at close range. The pattern exists but appears somewhat random when viewed from a normal distance. Vintage Tailored Twill features a finer, tightly tailored flat weave appearance.

Vintage Tailored Twill provides perhaps a more refined, tailored appearance than that of a typical coarse twill. It relies on the multi-tone nature of the fabric strands themselves to provide the appearance of depth of texture.
