Otto Larsen was one of New Zealand's most prolific and successful furniture makers of the 1960s and 70s.

The elegant, contemporary furniture produced by Otto Larsen during the mid 20th century helped introduce many Kiwi families to the clean lines and organic forms of the Scandinavian modern aesthetic. Larsen immigrated to New Zealand from Denmark in 1958 and was quick to set up a workshop in Auckland to produce locally made furniture inspired by the designs from his home country.

Larsens designs often heavily reference works by other Danish designers but were adapted slightly to suit local preferences and manufacturing technology. This was a trend embraced by most of the large commercial furniture makers in New Zealand at the time. The most recognisable version of another Dane's work would be Larsen's 'Da Nina' dining chair which closely resemble the work of Erik Buch.
