Illum Wikkelsø (1919-1999)
Danish architect-designer known for the rich, organic quality of his designs was an active proponent of Scandinavian modernism in the postwar era. Wikkelsø studied cabinetry, graduating from the Copenhagen School of Arts
Crafts. He later held positions with the cabinetmaker Jacob Kjaer and the architectural firm of Peter Hvidt and Orla Molgaard-Nielsen. In 1944, Wikkelsø moved to Århus to work as an interior designer. In 1954, he began designing his own furniture and, a few years later, established a workshop. Like many of his Danish contemporaries (Arne Jacobsen, Finn Juhl, and Hans Wegner) Wikkelsø’s designs emphasize formal simplicity and biomorphic silhouettes. Wikkelsø’s background in cabinetry engendered in him a profound understanding of materials and an excellent attention to detail. Working with teak and rosewood, he captured delicately sculptural forms. Wikkelsø believed that furniture should be built to last while cradling the body and pleasing the eye. A number of Danish manufacturers produced Wikkelsø’s designs, such as C.F. Christensen, Holger Christiansen, Eilersen, Farstrup, Silkeborg, and Søren Willadsen.
