wahl iversen was born in nyborg, denmark, in 1927, and is best known for his designs for komfort and vinde møbelfabrik. He worked with ikea for around seven years, creating a number of highly successful and affordable furniture ranges. These pieces come from a period when ikea was known only in scandinavia, yet was already collaborating with both emerging and established designers. That makes his ikea work an interesting early chapter in scandinavian modernism, and one that collectors are increasingly paying attention to.
the chair has a [frame in teak/oak/beech] and [upholstery: fabric/leather]. Its clean, considered construction is typical of wahl iversen’s approach to design. This piece has an attribution mark,
