Danish ML-91 Reupholstered Lounge Chair by Illum Wikkelsø, 1960s

About the Item

Clearly recognisable as a Illum Wikkelso design is this comfortable ML-91 easy chair. This chair was made mid-1960s by the Michael Laursen factory. A fairly unconventional design with crossed solid teak legs that support the back what makes it really edgy. This lounge chair has been reupholstered by a professional reupholsterer in a quality wool from Kvadrat, Clara 2 No. 797 on the outside and No. 933 on the inside. Kvadrat Clara 2 is beautiful woolen furniture fabric from the designer Anne Birgitte Hansen. Her fabrics stand out because they are woven with a special technique. In this version the fabric is mixed with stitching in one color and in another color just the other way around. The mixed versions give depth to the fabric. Composition 8% Nylon, 92% Virgin wool. Wear resistance 80,000 Martindale Furnip got a hold of the matching sofa (ML-90) this is reupholstered in the same Kvadrat Clara 2 combination of colors as this easy chair.
