The Croissant Lounge Chair represents an elegant and playful take on the traditional typology of the Chesterfield club chair. Designer Illum Wikkelsø believed that a chair was not just for sitting upright, but that it should be comfortable no matter the angle at which you sit – or even lie down. The complex curves required by the playful form of the ‘croissant’ are created with meticulously hand-stitched flat-piping in the fabric editions, and leather piping in the leather versions, honoring Wikkelsø’s legacy as a trained craftsman. The characteristic ‘croissant’ form – named for its playful reference to the iconic French breakfast pastry – makes a confident statement with a sense of humor in any interior space and works well as a standalone focal piece or in combination with other bold selections.
