ABOUT PRODUCTID 2160
This rocking chair, designed by Illum Wikkelsø and produced in Denmark by Niels Eilersen in the 1960s, is a refined example of Scandinavian mid-century modern craftsmanship. The frame is crafted from solid beech wood, meticulously restored to its natural surface and finished with Danish Fiddes oil, resulting in a warm, medium-brown tone with a subtle reddish hue. The satin-matte finish highlights the wood's natural grain, while visible dowel and mortise-and-tenon joinery demonstrate precise attention to detail. A tall, gently curved backrest with vertical spindles, smoothly profiled rockers, an ergonomically wide seat, and softly arched armrests come together in a light, balanced silhouette. The chair is in excellent, fully restored condition, showing no signs of wear, discoloration, or mechanical damage; all components remain original. Here, the character of 1960s Scandinavian modernism is palpable—a pursuit of balance between function and organic lightness. The chair embodies a moment in time when simplicity reflected respect for both material and craftsmanship, allowing the wood to tell its own story as light plays across the gently satin finish. The subtly curved rockers and backrest evoke the calm rhythm of a domestic interior, where every detail serves harmony and comfort. The Wikkelsø rocking chair can be paired with a minimalist coffee table in light wood or matte glass to emphasize the clarity of its form. It would complement a living room with a Scandinavian palette and natural textiles, as well as more eclectic spaces alongside a geometric rug or floor lamp with a simple shade. Adding a woven throw or a cushion in muted tones would highlight its subtle lightness as a counterpoint to richer textures in the setting.
