Designed by Danish architect and designer Illum Wikkelsø in 1962, the Croissant collection is an elegant and playful take on the traditional Chesterfield sofas and armchairs. For Wikkelsø, a chair should not just be used for sitting upright, but should also be comfortable in any position. So he revisited these classic pieces for a more relaxed audience emerging in the optimism of the 60s. With its characteristic, gourmet Viennese pastry shape, the Croissant sofa stands out with a certain sense of humour in any interior. It brings its own personality to your living room, but can also be combined with other furniture with a strong character. Gubi reissues this magnificent piece and pays homage to the original design, respecting its sculptural and theatrical presence, organic curves and artisanal craftsmanship.
Founded in 1967 in Denmark, Gubi is an iconic design brand known for its visionary approach blending Scandinavian heritage and modernity. Installed in former docks of Copenhagen, the company reprints cult pieces while collaborating with renowned contemporary designers. His goal: to create timeless, bold and deeply elegant furniture.
