Croissant lounge chair, oiled oak - Chamois Cuoio 1708
Description
GUBI’s Croissant lounge chair is by midcentury Danish architect and designer Ilum Wikkelsø, who believed that the furniture was made to last, indulge the body as well as please the eye. Originally designed in 1962, the Croissant represents a more playful and relaxed take on the traditional Chesterfield-style furniture.
The personal and distinctive shape, inspired by French pastry, reflects the designer’s ingenuity and sense of humour. The solid wood frame and soft plush seating of the furniture ensure a comfortable stay no matter the angle at which you sit. The hand-stitched Croissant armchair makes a beautiful and sculptural statement both alone or in pairs and works well together with the Croissant sofa from the same series.

Illum Wikkelsø (1919–1999) was a furniture designer and one of the central figures of Danish modernism. He trained first as a cabinetmaker and went on to study furniture design at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen. His career began in the 1940s, and he soon became known for clean-lined, practical furniture that often drew on wood and leather.
Wikkelsø designed chairs, sofas, and tables alike, and many of them are still in production today. His work has been shown in museums and galleries around the world, and original pieces are now wanted pieces sought after by collectors.
