The Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair by Audo

The The Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair by Audo is a compact mid-century lounge chair designed by Ib Kofod-Larsen in 1953. It pairs a solid oak frame with a form-pressed veneer seat and back, curved to support the body, and comes un-upholstered, seat upholstered or fully upholstered.

Available in Dubai through WSPR.

Mid-Century Danish, Kept Simple

Penguin is rooted in mid-century Danish design and stays focused on proportion, material and ease of use, without unnecessary detail.

The form is compact, so the chair sits comfortably within smaller spaces or alongside other pieces of furniture. An upholstered seat adds a layer of softness while preserving its balanced proportions.

Designed for Smaller Spaces

Compact in scale and easy to place, The Penguin Wooden Lounge Chair adapts to a range of interiors through its choice of oak finish and upholstery. The un-upholstered version keeps things minimal, while an upholstered seat, or a fully upholstered seat and back, adds comfort for longer sitting.

Key features include:

• Solid oak frame with a form-pressed veneer seat and back

• Back curved to support the body

• Compact scale suited to smaller spaces

• Un-upholstered, seat upholstered or fully upholstered versions

• Natural oak or red stained oak

• Handmade upholstery on the upholstered versions

Upholstery colours are selected with us at quotation stage, so the chair can be matched to the room.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Bent plywood and CNC-shaped wooden components are assembled, carefully polished and finished with a final layer of lacquer.

Available features include:

• Solid oak legs and frame with oak veneer

• Bent plywood seat and back

• Natural oak or red stained oak finish

• Foam-filled, handmade upholstery on the upholstered versions

• Made in Latvia

The result is a light, warm chair that shows its construction rather than hiding it. Natural oak keeps the grain visible and calm, while red stained oak adds a deeper note without changing the shape.

Ideal For

• Living rooms and reading corners

• Small apartments and compact lounge areas

• Bedrooms and dressing areas

• Studios and offices

• Hotel and hospitality lounges

It works as a single accent chair or as a pair around a low table, and its light frame makes it easy to move from room to room. Choose the wood and level of upholstery that suit the space, and we will help with the rest.
