Product description
TOP-DESIGNCLASSIX™ "Design classics, design and vintage furniture as new"
For sale is a set of completely restored original Illum Wikkelsø lounge chairs with stool in "as new" condition.
Object:
2x classic lounge / easy chair, model "Capella" with 1x stool
Description:
Solid teak frame, modular construction, with oval armrests and high-quality finger joints at the front; seat frame fitted with new straps and new protective stretch fabric with additional foam insert; new upholstered foam cushions newly covered and usable on both sides and individually removable and zippered.
The seams are all executed as an elegant fell seam (with this type of seam, the individual cover parts interlock as with finger hooking and are then double-stitched. This type of seam is therefore considerably more robust, has a significantly higher tensile strength and is significantly more durable than single/standard seams).
Manufacturer:
Niels Eilersen, Skamby Denmark, label underneath
Designer:
Illum Wikkelsø 1919-1999
Trained as a cabinetmaker in 1938, graduated from the School of Arts, Crafts and Design in 1941, then worked for the cabinetmaker Jacob Kjaer and the architects Hyidt & Molgaard-Nielsen. Opened his own company in 1954.
Material:
Solid teak, oiled / premium contract furniture fabric with stain protection
A particularly robust and heavy (almost 700g/rm) premium upholstery material with a very beautiful, striking woven look was chosen here, in which duotones bring out the woven structure even better. This textured upholstery fabric is easy to care for, hard-wearing and has also been treated with stain protection. It is characterized by a very high abrasion resistance of over 100,000 abrasion cycles and is therefore twice as durable as upholstery materials used for public facilities with very heavy use. (highest quality range according to Martindale) (from 50,000 abrasion cycles) The degree of light fastness is greater than 5.
Color shade:
- teak (dark brown with a beautiful reddish tint and natural color nuances)
- gray
Info...
The photos are highly exposed so that the 1a condition is also visible in detail! Reddish tones become more reddish and colors generally brighter. The shadow areas or the areas not directly illuminated by the photo light best reflect the color tones in nature.

Condition:
Like new! This ensemble has been lovingly restored by the restorer using traditional and natural materials. No matter where you look, you think it is new, simply brilliant, more is hardly possible. Even with this classic, it would be very difficult to find another one in anywhere near this fantastic condition! You will not only see the difference but also feel it!
