Product description
A very special, exclusive, and generously designed office chair with a comfortable mechanism and exceptional seating comfort – a truly impressive model from 1955!
Note: The second photo shows a historical photograph of the company founder, Johannes Larsen, presenting this chair model – his “King Chair” – in front of his factory in Skælskør, Denmark!
A rare, representative original from the 1950s! Made in Denmark – LaBoFa – Larsens Bolzen Fabrik
Construction: Heavy, leather-upholstered swivel chair (genuine leather: black) with armrests on a four-star base – black lacquered steel base with smooth-running casters and nickel-plated decorative plates with the embossed “Labofa” logo (see photo).
The seat and backrest are visually and structurally separate and move smoothly and silently against each other thanks to the extremely simple yet ingenious, robust mechanism. (This means that when you lean back in a relaxed, extended position, the seat gently tilts accordingly!)
Truly impressive, robust tilt mechanism, individually adjustable – no gas spring technology – height adjustment via a 30 mm diameter threaded spindle – extremely robust and virtually indestructible!
Dimensions: Overall height approx. 88–100 cm, overall width approx. 75 cm, overall depth approx. 60 cm, seat height approx. 46–58 cm
Manufacturer and Design: LaBoFa – Kontor Møbel Fabrik – was founded in 1947 by Johannes Larsen as "Larsens Bolzen Fabrik" in Skælskør, Denmark. Since the 1950s, the company has focused on the production of office chairs, and in the following years, the former automobile and bicycle repair shop established itself as one of the largest Scandinavian furniture manufacturers.
During this time, connections existed with the Danish office furniture company KEVI A/S, also known for the "Kevi roll" developed by Ib and Jorgen Rasmussen and later acquired by Fritz Hansen. A collaboration with the Danish designer Jacob Jensen, who was chief designer at Bang & Olufsen in the 1960s and 70s, is also mentioned.
To this day, LaBoFa office furniture for the most demanding requirements is successfully sold worldwide.
