Model 'IW3' rocking chair with high back in beech ; a design by Kristian Illum Wikkelsø for Niels Eilersen.
Wikkelsø was a Danish furniture designer, who together with such great names as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Kai Kristiansen and many others made a major contribution to the development of Danish design in the 1950s and 1960s. It should therefore come as no surprise that many of his designs have now become true vintage classics, of which his rocking chair model 'IW3' and his armchair model 'V11' are the best known.
This chair has been completely restored and the wood has not been finished with any lacquer, color or varnish, which means that this chair is very easy to paint, although a colorless varnish can also be simply applied for a more natural look (or just leave it as it is, is certainly also possible, and is immediately nice and easy!)
