Rare vintage Scandinavian leather safari lounge chairs, designer unknown, 1970s / vintage Scandinavische safari lounge fauteuils, 1970s. De stoere fauteuils hebben een massief vurenhouten frame waartussen de zwarte zadelleren zitting is gespannen. De leren rugleuning is over een frame geschoven. De leren riemen aan de achterzijde van de zitting geven de stoelen een mooi robuust karakter. De stoelen hebben een grote gelijkenis met de Karin Mobring Diana safari stoel voor Ikea, maar hebben een ander vorm van het houten frame. Wellicht prototypes of vakmanschap? Zeker is dat dit model zeldzaam is, misschien wel one of a kind. Ontwerper en producent bij ons onbekend.

Vintage Scandinavian safari lounge armchairs, 1970s. The sturdy armchairs have a solid spruce frame between which the black saddle leather seat is stretched. The leather backrest is slid over a frame. The leather straps on the back of the seat give the chairs a nice robust character. The chairs are very similar to the Karin Mobring Diana safari chair for Ikea, but have a different shape of the wooden frame. Perhaps prototypes or craftsmanship? What is certain is that this model is rare, perhaps one of a kind. Designer and producer unknown to us. Good vintage condition. Light signs of wear on the wooden frame and leather according to age. Beautiful patina.
Vintage leather easy chair, model 103, designed by Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) and produced by A/S Mikael Laursen, Denmark 1960s.
Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999) trained as a carpenter and later studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. He first worked for the Danish cabinetmaker Jacob Kjær and the architects Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard until 1954, when he opened his studio on the outskirts of Aarhus. Here he designed exceptionally simple and elegant seating furniture with great functionality, which are now considered classics of Danish furniture design. The style of his work ranges from the classicism of Kaare Klint to the soft organic craftsmanship of Arne Jacobsen.
