Mid-century modern rosewood coffee table Capella by Illum Wikkelsø.

This classic square coffee table from the Capella series was designed by Illum Wikkelsø for the Danish manufacturer Niels Eilersen in the 1960s. It is made from high-quality rosewood. This coffee table has a warm brown colour and a rich grain. The base consists of slender H-shaped legs. The elegant design, which emphasises the purity of forms and simplicity of lines, will find its perfect place in many settings, not only as a coffee table. Kristian Illum Wikkelsø was part of a group of designers representing the golden age of Danish design in the 1950s and 1960s. He was one of the key creators who made Danish style an international phenomenon. Although Wikkelsø's style aligns in many ways with the aesthetics of design of his time, he had the courage and ability to develop his own innovative style, often expressive and surprising, but always focused on sublime craftsmanship and attention to detail. His goal was to capture the beauty of the surrounding environment in his furniture creations. Wikkelsø was admitted to the Furniture Design School of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and, under the tutelage of Kaare Klint, made a name for himself with his unique aesthetic and meticulous craftsmanship. He collaborated with several artists but ultimately, in 1954, founded his own design company based in Aarhus, Denmark. The table is in original vintage condition. It shows slight signs of age-related wear. The colours of the products shown in the photos may differ slightly from the actual ones. This is due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions – the photos were taken in artificial light, which can affect colour perception. However, we strive to ensure that the photos reflect the actual appearance of the product as accurately as possible. The offer may include photos of the item in a living space, but these are for illustration purposes only.
