Croissant 3-Seater Sofa by Gubi

The Croissant Sofa, designed by Danish architect and designer Illum Wikkelsø from the mid-century, represents an elegant and playful way to bring traditional Chesterfield sofas and club chairs to life. Wikkelsø often emphasizes that a seat should not only keep your upper body upright – it should be comfortable no matter what angle you sit in – even when lying down. With this in mind, he aimed to reinterpret the classic Chesterfield for the optimistic and relaxed era of the 1960s.

Designer Illum Wikkelsø - Croissant 3-Seater Sofa

The expressive shape of the Croissant – a symbol of joie de vivre and the French lifestyle – is achieved through the carefully hand-stitched flat piping in the fabric version and leather piping in the leather version, creating the necessary delicate curves. Wikkelsø is also an experienced carpenter, and his preference for wood is reflected in the frame made of oiled walnut or FSC-certified, slightly reclined oak.
