The Penguin Rocking Chair - Fully Upholstered

The Penguin Fully Upholstered Rocking Chair from Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) represents the most luxurious interpretation of Ib Kofod-Larsen's mid-century masterpiece. This comprehensive adaptation preserves the iconic silhouette first introduced in 1953—with its distinctive penguin "flipper" profile—while enveloping both seat and backrest in premium upholstery. The addition of gently curved rockers transforms the static piece into a dynamic experience that soothes through both tactile comfort and rhythmic motion.

The chair's graceful form maintains Kofod-Larsen's exceptional sense of proportion and visual lightness despite the additional upholstery. Available in an extensive range of premium textiles from world-class European manufacturers or luxurious leather options in various finishes, the chair offers hundreds of upholstery combinations to complement any interior design scheme. The generous foam-filled seat and back create an unexpectedly comfortable embrace that enhances the gentle rocking motion.

The precision-crafted steel framework creates a stable foundation while contributing to the chair's visual dynamism through clean, geometric lines that lead to the curved wooden rockers. This thoughtful marriage of materials—upholstery, steel, and wood—creates a piece that is contrasting and playful while remaining well-proportioned and fully formed. Every aspect of the design reflects Kofod-Larsen's philosophy that the most important quality of furniture is how it feels to the person using it.

Perfect for creating serene reading corners, enhancing sophisticated living spaces, establishing meditation areas, or providing comfort in modern nurseries, the Penguin Fully Upholstered Rocking Chair represents Danish design at its most refined. This thoughtful reissue by Audo Copenhagen introduces a piece of cultural heritage and design history to contemporary interiors, proving that Kofod-Larsen's artistic yet practical approach may be more relevant than ever before. Experience the serene motion and embracing comfort of a chair designed to offer not just visual delight but genuine physical well-being.
