Illum Wikkelso easy chair and Table Mod '272' for C.F. Christiansen Sweden 1960

About the Item

Illum Wikkelsø C.F. Christiansen, easy chair and table model 272, Rosewood, black leather, Denmark, 1962 Very rare easy chair and table by Illum Wikkelsø. The Rosewood legs are tapered and lean slightly outwards, giving this set its characteristic look. The tip of the legs come through the black leather seats, which is spanned between the legs. The Black leather is original, and needs restauration or to be changed, the rosewood frame is in good vintage condition. Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) was trained as a carpenter and later studied at the School of Arts & Crafts in Copenhagen. He first worked for the Danish furniture maker Jacob Kjær and the architect Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard until 1954 when he opened his studio on the outskirts of Aarhus. Here he designed especially simple and elegant seating with great functionality now considered classics of Danish furniture design. The style of his work varies from Kaare Klint''s classicism Kaare Klints to the soft organic craft by Arne Jacobsen.
