This rare Danish Modern lounge chair by Illum Wikkelsø for Niels Eilersen is a testament to the refined craftsmanship of the 1950s Scandinavian design movement. The solid teak wood frame, newly refinished to highlight its warm tones and exquisite joinery, features Wikkelsø’s signature sculptural lines and an airy, open-back design. The chair has been completely restored, with new Pirelli webbing for optimal support, new high-density foam for plush comfort, and new luxurious tweed upholstery in a soft, textured off-white. This piece embodies both aesthetic elegance and functional comfort, making it a perfect addition to any Mid-Century Modern or contemporary setting.

Fun Historical Fact: Illum Wikkelsø was a master of organic modernism, designing furniture that promoted relaxation while maintaining a sculptural presence. His work was deeply inspired by the Danish landscape, and his chairs were crafted to mirror the natural curves of the human body, ensuring both beauty and ergonomic excellence.

The Restoration Record

Everything we touched, and everything we left alone

Sixty-four hours of bench time by two craftsmen in our Hyperion Avenue workshop. Period-correct methods and materials throughout.

Frame fully disassembled, joints cleaned of old glue and re-set with hide glue. One rear stretcher replaced with salvaged period teak, grain-matched.

Stripped by hand, sanded through 120/180/240/320 grit, then three coats of Danish oil cut back between coats. No lacquer, no filler, no stain.

New jute webbing over the original beech rails; horsehair and natural latex pad; Kvadrat wool bouclé in undyed oat.

Maker's stamp, original brass fittings and the patina on the arm caps, the marks that prove the piece lived.
