    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. From the 1940s to the late 1960s, Sren Willadsen was a Danish furniture maker. Willadsen primarily made seats, armchairs, chairs, and couches for Danish designers such Solmer Vedel, Finn Juhl, Illum Wikkels, and Nana Ditzel. Wikkelso (spelled Wikkels) is a lesser-known Scandinavian designer than Hans J Wegner or Borge Mogensen. Nonetheless, he made significant contributions to the growth of Scandinavian design in the 1950s and 1960s.

Following graduation, After graduating he held positions with the cabinetmaker Jacob Kjaer and the architectural firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen.
