Known for his extraordinary seating, table, and casegood designs, Kofod-Larsen often worked with natural grains and woods including teak and rosewood. His attention to detail, use of quality materials, and focus on funtionality allowed him to develop inviting, yet alluring pieces. Throughout his career, Kofod-Larsen worked with various well-known manufacturers such as Faarup Møbelfabrik, Christensen & Larsen, and Bovenkamp
