Description
Sexy is the best word to describe this sofa by Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) - who studied under some of the leading lights of the Scandinavian modernist movement and began in 1954 his own design studio in Aarhus Denmark. With generous proportions and angled back - the sofa has presence. Eight down filled loose cushions add to comfort with a laid back attitude. Reverse pyramidal legs in rosewood finish the scene. Exceptional design. Produced as Model V11 by Holgar Kristiansen, Denmark, late 1960s to early 1970s. Seat height : 15.8".
