Description
This refined Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern armchair was realized by the esteemed designer Illum Wikkelso in Denmark, circa 1959.
Both materials and quality combined to a powerful effect (as is often the case in great design).
The chair offers an austere architectonic frame consisting of angled cuts of rectangular segments to create a dynamic and compelling form. The back has exposed slats, while the seat sits at a dramatic slope housed within the right angled lines of the legs and arms- all in beautiful teak.
The chair has is the original wool upholstery.
