Illum Wikkelsø sofa
- This rare sofa, designed by Illum Wikkelsø, was produced by Mikael Laursen in Denmark during the 1960s. Known for his functional and elegant designs, Wikkelsø’s work exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design, characterized by simplicity, craftsmanship, and comfort.
The frame is made of oak, a durable wood with a warm, natural finish, typical of the period. The upholstery, in its original fabric, complements the wood and adds to the piece’s understated sophistication. The condition is generally good, with minor signs of usage. However, there are some damages to the cushion piping, which should be noted. The oak frame remains in solid, structurally sound condition.
This sofa reflects the Scandinavian design philosophy of the 1960s, focusing on both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The dimensions are 210 cm (82.7 inches) in width, 80 cm (31.5 inches) in depth, 71 cm (28 inches) in height, with a seat height of 40 cm (15.7 inches).
