Croissant Lounge Chair
Croissant Lounge Chair
$6,999
The Croissant Lounge Chair, by midcentury Danish architect and designer Illum Wikkelsø (1919–1999), represents an elegant and playful take on the traditional typology of the Chesterfield sofa and club chair. The distinctive ‘croissant’ shape reflects the same ingenuity and sense of humour that saw him mount a sail onto his bicycle for speedier travel as a child. Illum Wikkelsø redefined these classic pieces for a more relaxed audience emerging in the optimism of the 1960s.

Danish furniture designer Kristian Illum Wikkelsø (1919–1999) believed that furniture should be built to last, to indulge the body and to please the eye. He belonged to a group of designers who represented the Golden Age of Danish design during the 1950s and 1960s. With his clear design aesthetic and deep understanding of materials, he was one of the key protagonists to make Danish design style an international phenomenon.
