ProfessionalProduct description
The IW3 rocking chair, designed by Illum Wikkelsø for manufacturer Niels Eilersen, is one of the most characteristic examples of Danish design from the 1950s. This model was developed in the late 1950s and produced in Denmark during the subsequent decade. The form perfectly embodies what Scandinavian design from that period is known for: a combination of functionality, comfort, and organic lines, inspired by nature.
The example offered is crafted from solid oak. The slender construction, subtly curved rocking legs, and distinctive, sculptural armrests give the chair a light appearance, despite its robust construction. Wikkelsø designed this model with as much attention to aesthetics as to everyday seating comfort. The high backrest and ergonomically shaped structural elements ensure exceptional seating comfort, rarely found in most rocking chairs of that era.
In terms of style, the IW3 belongs to Danish Modernism and the Mid-Century Modern movement. Characteristic features include flowing, organic lines and minimalist design, ensuring that the chair still possesses a timeless and elegant appearance more than sixty years after its design.
Illum Wikkelsø (1919–1999) was one of the most important Danish furniture designers of the post-war period. His designs are renowned for their harmonious proportions, high comfort, and subtle, organic form. Manufacturer Niels Eilersen, founded at the end of the 19th century, remains one of the most renowned Danish furniture brands and is known for its high-quality craftsmanship and collaborations with leading Scandinavian designers.
