Illum Wikkelso armchair 1962 in Teak for Niels Eilersen

About the Item

What I like most about this chair is it's elegant moss green color which combines perfectly with the organic shape of the armrest. It is very confortable to sit in and gives the feeling of being seated in an old Jaguar. At a moment I considered reupholstering the chair but it simply felt wrong.

    By Illum Wikkelsø
    Located in תל אביב - יפו, IL
    Capella chair by Illum Wikkels with new upholstery in gorgeous white fabric, created in 1959 and produced by N. Eilersen in the 1960s.
