The Penguin Rocking Chair with Upholstered Seat from Audo Copenhagen (formerly Menu) enhances Ib Kofod-Larsen's mid-century masterpiece with added comfort and customization possibilities. First introduced in 1953, this iconic design nods to American modernists of the era while maintaining distinctly Danish sensibilities in its refined proportions and thoughtful craftsmanship. The upholstered seat creates a perfect balance between the warm wooden elements and soft tactile comfort, while the gently curved rockers transform static seating into a soothing, rhythmic experience.

Available in either natural oak or rich walnut veneer, the chair's sculptural wooden back showcases 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 or luxurious leather options in various finishes and textures. This wealth of customization possibilities allows the chair to complement any interior palette while maintaining its distinctive character and mid-century sensibility.

The chair's open construction creates a sense of visual lightness, with the slender steel framework set slightly back to provide a gentle, leaning position that enhances the rocking motion. The marriage of vibrant wood grain on the embracing backrest with the soft upholstered seat creates a compelling textural contrast that invites both touch and use. Every element—from the penguin flipper-inspired backrest to the precisely crafted rockers—reflects Kofod-Larsen's philosophy that furniture should prioritize the physical experience of the user.

Perfect for modern nurseries, reading nooks, contemplative corners, or anywhere that benefits from the gentle motion that soothes both body and mind, the Penguin Rocking Chair with Upholstered Seat represents Danish design at its most refined. This thoughtful reissue by Audo Copenhagen honors a piece of cultural heritage while introducing Kofod-Larsen's artistic yet practical approach to a new generation—a testament to design that is perhaps more modern and relevant than ever before with its beautiful silhouette and sculptural, organic lines.
