Pair Danish Oak Plexus Chairs

Pair Danish oak Plexus chairs

Designed by Illum Wikkelso who was probably Denmark’s most successful Mid-Century upholstery designer , and made by the quality maker C.F.Christensen of Silkeborg . The consensus seems to be that this design dates to the 1960’s . Like his famous Capella series for Eillersen it’s designed to come to pieces and with the right components you can create a small sofa . It came in various woods including rosewood and mahogany as well as this lovely light oak and he also designed a small square coffee table to match . A rosewood Plexus coffee table from a pair that we have is shown in a couple of the photos .

A nice neat small armchair with a lightness that’s emphasised by the lovely caned panelled back and sides . A very recognisable design that’s unlike any other chair of the time .

73.5cms wide , , seat height about 38cms , back height 74cms , depth around 67cms

Condition The oak frames are in lovely vintage condition . The canework is original with no splits or damage . The webbing to the underside is original and is in great condition so didn’t need replacing .

Our upholsterer has made new foam cushions which have been upholstered in a lovely teal green wool fabric . The original cushions were needing to be replaced and these exact copies will meet current UK Fire Regulations for upholstered furniture .
