The Penguin Dining Chair with Upholstered Seat from Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) enhances Ib Kofod-Larsen's mid-century masterpiece with added comfort and customization options. First introduced in 1953 and now faithfully reissued, this iconic chair—which outsold many of its more celebrated Danish contemporaries in America during the 1950s—features a distinctive silhouette defined by a curved wooden back reminiscent of a penguin's welcoming flippers. The addition of premium upholstery to the seat creates a perfect balance between the warm wooden elements and soft tactile comfort.

Available in either natural oak or rich walnut veneer, the chair's sculptural wooden back and frame showcase Kofod-Larsen's exceptional understanding of material properties and visual proportions. The upholstered seat can be customized in dozens of premium textiles from renowned European manufacturers—including fine wools, innovative recycled blends, and textured weaves—or luxurious leather options in a variety of natural tones and finishes. This wealth of customization possibilities allows the chair to complement any interior palette while maintaining its distinctive character.

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 enhanced by high-density foam cushioning. The precision-crafted steel framework provides structural integrity while creating a visual lightness that allows the chair to enhance dining areas without overwhelming them. Every element—from the gentle curve of the backrest to the precise upholstery stitching—reflects Kofod-Larsen's philosophy that furniture should "feel good" to both the eye and the body.

Perfect for contemporary dining rooms, upscale hospitality settings, or design-forward homes seeking to balance historical significance with everyday comfort, the Penguin Dining Chair with Upholstered Seat honors Kofod-Larsen's legacy as one of Denmark's most underappreciated design masters. This thoughtful reissue by Audo Copenhagen introduces his sophisticated, well-proportioned aesthetic to a new generation while providing the practical comfort expected in modern interiors—a testament to design that grows more relevant with time rather than less.
