Knitting Chair, Sheepskin Upholstery

The Knitting Chair earns its place because it does something most lounge chairs cannot: it provides real comfort while keeping a small footprint and a light visual presence. The exposed triangular frame carries the load, so the chair reads as open rather than bulky, which is what makes it work in a reading corner or a bedroom where a heavier chair would dominate. The elbow cut-outs are a genuine functional detail, not a styling flourish — they came from the chair's original purpose. KANSO is an authorized Audo Copenhagen retailer, so every Knitting Chair is sourced directly from the brand and covered by the manufacturer's warranty. For a buyer who wants a documented piece of Danish design history rather than a reproduction, it is one of the most quietly versatile chairs in the collection.

Solid oak or walnut, finished by hand

Every Knitting Chair is built the same way: a solid hardwood frame, CNC-milled and finished with wax-oil, with a curved plywood seat and back that is foam-padded and hand-assembled. What changes is the frame wood. The oak frame, in natural or dark-stained finish, sits at the base of the range. The walnut frame is the step up — a denser, darker timber with a more pronounced grain, and a more costly material to source and mill. The seat and back are upholstered separately in fabric, leather, or sheepskin through Audo's upholstery program; the sheepskin option gives the curved plywood shell a soft, high-pile surface against the hard geometry of the frame.
