Armchair and Wikkelso Illum '272' for C.F. Christiansen, Sweden, 1960s
Rosewood feet are tapered and slightly tilted outwards, which gives this set its characteristic appearance. The end of the feet passes through the black leather seats, which extend between the feet.
Good condition.
The black leather is original and needs to be restored or changed.
The rosewood frame is in good condition.
Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) received carpenter training and then studied at the Copenhagen Arts and Crafts School. He first worked for the manufacturer of Danish furniture Jacob Kjær and the architects Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard until 1954, when he opened his studio in the suburbs of Aarhus. It is there that he designed particularly simple and elegant seats, of great functionality, which are today considered as classics of Danish furniture. The style of his work varies from the classicism of Kaare Klint''s KALERS with sweet organic crafts of Arne Jacobsen. This piece has an attribution mark,
