Danish furniture designer and factory owner Niels Koefoed created a wide range of dining room furniture in the typical Danish Modern style during the Mid-Century period. Following in the footsteps of his father Einar Koefoed, who founded Koefoeds Hornslet in 1926, Niels began designing furniture in the mid 1950's. By the early 60's Niels Koefoed was owner and operator of Koefoeds Hornslet as well as chief designer creating some of his most iconic models such as the "Eva", "Lis" and "Ingrid" chairs (all named after important women in Niels' life).

Koefoed Hornselt, named after both the founder's name and the town it was located in, was initially dedicated to producing fine furniture, although Niels’ most popular designs eventually pushed dining room chair production to the fore of their business. In 2004, Koefoed Hornslet moved production to Thailand, where it continues to this very day. Although a number of Koefoed’s designs are produced by furniture manufacturer Casø, it is the original Mid-Century era productions that are in great demand on the vintage market.
