Pair of Illum Wikkelsø V11-A lounge chairs in buffalo leather for Holger Christiansen 1965

Pair of V11-A lounge chairs by renowned Danish designer Illum Wikkelsø, upholstered in their original brown buffalo leather made by Holger Christiansen in Denmark in 1965. Wikkelsø designed the V11 series for Holger Christiansen in Denmark around 1965. He took an interest in how people actually sit, allowing room to turn in a chair or settle into one corner. In the V11-A, that idea is expressed in the proportions of the seat and the way the arms and back enclose it. The original brown buffalo leather with nice overall patina gives this pair a character of its own. The natural folds and grain of the hide give the design a striking appearance, while the minimalistic oak legs give the chairs a lighter appearance. A striking pair which will elevate any seating area with their impressive character.
