Vintage “Kroken” lounge chair by Ake Fribyter for Nelo Mobel, Sweden 1970s / Comfortabele lounge fauteuil, model Kroken, in de jaren 70 ontworpen door de Zweed Ake Fribyter voor Nelo Mobel. Blank eiken (verend) frame met daarin een bruine canvas zitting en bruin leren kussen. Het hoofdkussen is in hoogte verstelbaar. Ik denk wel de lounge fauteuil onder de lounge fauteuils.
Conditie: goede vintage conditie. Linksvoor op de zitting gerepareerde craquelé (daardoor licht kleurverschil in het leer).
Afmetingen: breed 75 cm, diep 96 cm, hoog 90 cm, zithoogte ca. 33 cm.

Comfortable lounge chair, model Kroken, designed in the 1970s by the Swede Ake Fribyter for Nelo Mobel. Blank oak (sprung) frame with a brown canvas seat and brown leather cushion. The pillow is adjustable in height. I think the lounge armchair under the lounge armchairs. Good vintage condition. Repaired crackle on the front left of the seat (because of this slight color difference in the leather).
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.
