This armchair, designed by Illum Wikkelsø for Niels Eilersen in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies the essence of Scandinavian mid-century modernism. Its frame, crafted from solid elm with a warm, medium brown tone and matte finish, brings out the unique wood grain and organic lines of the piece.

Professionally restored, the wooden frame has been carefully cleaned, stained, and lacquered, with the upholstery replaced.

It pairs well with a low wooden or glass side table, a subtly textured
