Vintage Conference – Dining Chairs in Walnut and Original Vinyl Leather by Ib Kofod-Larsen, 1963, Set of 8
An exceptionally rare and complete set of eight matching conference chairs designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen and manufactured by Fröscher KG (Sitform Line) in Jettingen-Scheppach, Germany, during the early 1960s.
Each chair is crafted from solid black walnut with its original clear lacquer finish, showcasing the warm tone and distinctive grain of the wood. The upholstery is the original soft beige vinyl leather, still supple and comfortable, displaying only light patina consistent with age.
This exact set was custom ordered for and used in the conference room of a vocational school (Berufsschule) in Dürrlauingen, Bavaria, from the 1960s onward. The Sitform line was produced exclusively for institutional and public commissions, never available for private retail sale, and manufactured for only a few years — making surviving sets extremely rare.
The sculptural form clearly reflects Kofod-Larsen’s Danish design language, reminiscent of his iconic Elizabeth Chairs — with elegantly curved armrests that flow seamlessly into the back legs, and a refined, floating seat construction.
All eight chairs are structurally solid, stable, and comfortable. Six retain their original Fröscher KG inspection labels, while two are partially faded.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition overall. Original lacquer and upholstery preserved. One chair shows a minor superficial crack on the upper backrest (visible in the last photo) — purely cosmetic, not affecting comfort or stability.
