About the Item

Illum Wikkelsø, sofa, model 'V11', leather, oak, Denmark, 1960s This modern sofa is designed by Illum Wikkelsø and is marked by a clear open layout and the use of neutral materials. Defined by simplicity, clarity and absence of ornamentation, this piece of furniture is exemplary of Scandinavian Modern Design. Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) is trained as a carpenter and later studied at the School of Arts and 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 to the soft organic craft by Arne Jacobsen. Please note that this item is in used condition, the leather and base show signs of wear and age. Reupholstery can be done before shipping by our experienced craftsmen and -women in our own in-house restoration atelier.
