Mid-century furniture by Illum Wikkelso (Denmark)

Illum Wikkelsø, born in 1919 and passing away in 1999, was a Danish furniture designer renowned for his contributions to mid-century modern design. He began his journey in Faaborg, Denmark, where he apprenticed as a cabinetmaker during his teenage years. He furthered his education at the Technical Society School in Copenhagen and the Danish School of Arts & Crafts, studying under the influential architect and designer Kaare Klint, widely regarded as the father of modern Danish furniture.

After gaining experience as a cabinetmaker, Wikkelsø ventured into establishing his own design studio in 1954. Prior to that, he worked with the esteemed Danish architect and furniture maker Jacob Kjær, later moving on to collaborate with designer and architect Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen at Hvidt & Mølgaard. This partnership, which lasted over 30 years and produced over 250 designs, was founded by Mølgaard-Nielsen, Wikkelsø's former instructor at the Technical Society more... School, and Peter Hvidt.

Wikkelsø's design studio in Aarhus, Denmark, gained recognition throughout the 1950s and 1960s for its innovative and fresh approach to furniture design. His teak and leather lounge chairs, as well as slender rosewood dining chairs, became particularly iconic. Notably, during the 1960s, Wikkelsø merged Danish craftsmanship and pop art influences, featuring unconventionally shaped chrome frames and vibrantly coloured upholstery in his lounge chairs.

Using natural materials like teak and rosewood, Wikkelsø's meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship became hallmarks of his furniture pieces. Danish manufacturers such as C.F. Christensen, Holger Christiansen, Eilersen, Farstrup, Silkeborg, and Søren Willadsen produced his designs. Among his famous creations are the T118 Coffee Table, the Gyngestol Rocking Chair, and the Model 91 Lounge Chair and Ottoman. Exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide, Wikkelsø's work remains highly sought-after by collectors.

Although Wikkelsø passed away in 1999, his legacy continues to inspire contemporary furniture designers. less...
