Information

This rare set of easy chairs, model V10, designed by Illum Wikkelsø and produced by Holger Christiansen in Denmark in 1964, exemplifies the organic and sculptural qualities central to Wikkelsø’s design philosophy. Crafted from rosewood, the frames showcase a flowing, continuous backrest and armrests supported by vertical slats, balancing structural strength with visual lightness.

The original upholstery features a vibrant blue and green patterned fabric, embodying the boldness of mid-century aesthetics. Illum Wikkelsø was renowned for merging ergonomic comfort with elegant form, and Holger Christiansen was recognized for producing finely crafted, limited-edition furniture pieces during this period.

The chairs remain in good vintage condition, with expected minor wear. The padding has naturally dried over time, so reupholstery is recommended to restore full comfort while preserving the original frame’s integrity.

Dimensions: Width 67 cm (26.4 in), Depth 61 cm (24 in), Height 61 cm (24 in), Seat Height 33 cm (13 in).
