About This Piece

Vintage Design

Set of two fully restored Capella lounge chairs in oak reupholstered in black leather designed by Illum Wikkelsø in 1959 and produced by N. Eilersen in the 1960s.

The chairs feature a strong fully restored wooden frame in oak and has been reupholstered with top quality leather.

Kristian Illum Wikkelsø was a Danish furniture designer, who belonged to the generation of Danish designers that made Danish Design a world brand during the 1950's and 1960's. He was a carpenter apprentice until 1938 and then was admitted at the Art Works School in Copenhagen, from where he graduated 1941. After years as an employee at first Jacob Kjær and then the partners Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard, he established his own business in 1954. Many of his pieces have become classical designer object, among the widest known are his rocking chair and his easy chair model V11.

An important partner was C. F. Christensen, Silkeborg, for whom he designed the PLexus series and other light comfort chairs.

About the Creator

Illum Wikkelso

Though very little biographical information survives for Danish architect-designer Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999), the rich, organic quality of his designs found on the vintage market affirms his status as an active proponent of Scandinavian modernism in the postwar era.

Like most Danish designers at the time, Wikkelsø studied cabinetry, graduating from the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. He later held positions with the cabinetmaker Jacob Kjaer and the architectural firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen. In 1944, Wikkelsø moved to Århus to work as an interior designer.

In 1954, he began designing his own furniture and, a few years later, established a workshop. Like many of his Danish contemporaries—Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, and Hans Wegner, for example—Wikkelsø’s designs emphasize formal simplicity and biomorphic silhouettes. Wikkelsø’s background in cabinetry engendered in him a profound understanding of materials and an excellent attention to detail. Working with teak and rosewood, he captured delicately sculptural forms. Wikkelsø believed that furniture should be built to last while cradling the body and pleasing the eye.  

Well-known designs from Wikkelsø’s career include T118 Coffee Table (ca. 1950s), Gyngestol Rocking Chair (1958), and Model 91 Lounge Chair and Ottoman for Mikael Laursen (ca. 1959), among others. A number of Danish manufacturers produced Wikkelsø’s designs, such as C.F. Christensen, Holger Christiansen, Eilersen, Farstrup, Silkeborg, and Søren Willadsen.
