Experience timeless Danish design with the Audo Copenhagen Elizabeth Lounge Chair. Originally named Model U56 by designer Ib Kofod-Larsen, this chair gained its regal association after Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip purchased two during their 1958 visit to Denmark. The chair features a sculpted solid walnut frame with organic curves, flowing armrests, and a low leather seat with a distinctive sleigh-back silhouette, embodying mid-century Danish Modern aesthetics. Designed for comfort and elegance, it offers a perfect recline angle for extended relaxation. The construction utilizes a combination of foam, felt, quilt foam, and pocket springs for layered support. Available in natural oak or walnut frames with oil finishes, and a variety of upholstery options including Logan bouclé, Hallingdal 65 fabric, and Dakar aniline leather in brown or black. Its dimensions are well-suited for various room sizes, making it a substantial yet not overpowering lounge chair. Audo Copenhagen's reissue of this classic design honors the original craftsmanship and material quality, offering a piece that is both functional for contemporary living and a nod to design heritage.
