  • Midcentury Danish architect and designer Illum Wikkelsø believed that furniture should be built to last, to indulge the body and to please the eye.
  • Wikkelsø redefined classic pieces for more a more relaxed audience emerging in the optimism of the 1960s, with the belief that a chair was not just for sitting upright, but that it should be comfortable no matter the angle at which you sit – or even lie down.
  • The Croissant Sofa and Lounge chare are distinctive pieces, with organic curves and clean lines.
  • In collaboration with the Wikkelsø family, and paying close attention to the original drawings, the ergonomic lines have been refined to reflect contemporary body sizes.
  • Both the lounge chair and three-seater sofa feature a base-frame and legs, made from oiled walnut or FSC-certified oak, with a slight front-to-back downward tilt and a curved detail into which slot the seat and backrest.
  • The complex curves required by the playful form of the ‘croissant’ are created with meticulously hand-stitched flat-piping in the fabric editions, and leather piping in the leather versions, honoring Wikkelsø’s legacy as a trained craftsman.
  • The horseshoe curve of the backrest enables multiple alternative sitting and lying positions, so each user can find their own comfort, even though both the sofa and lounge chair demand a fairly formal sitting position if the sitter’s feet are on the floor.
  • The Croissant Sofa makes a powerful statement as a standalone piece, while the Croissant Lounge Chair works well alone or in pairs as ‘fireside chairs’, or in members’ clubs, workspaces or hotel lobbies.
