the designer

Active during the Golden Age of Danish design in the 1950s and ’60s, Wikkelsø created pieces that were both functional and expressive, often featuring organic curves and expert woodworking. His designs helped shape the international appeal of Danish modernism, balancing visual simplicity with tactile warmth.
