Another random find on the web..thought I would share for reference as there is very little info to be found on IllumWikkelsø's designs.

Some images and a link to the Asko Q&A section with further images and information.( translation required!!! )

Update:- It would appear that this furniture was probably made under licence by Asko as I have found the same design on Instagram. Model "multimøbler" by Vatne Lenestolfabrikk, also by Illum Wikkelsø.

Thanks for this. We have the couch, which is boldly upholstered in a purple and pink Danish weave fabric... a bright colour seems to be in keeping with the advertising!

@adams. Is your sofa marked/stamped with any makers marks? I only ask because today I found the same seating group,also by Illum Wikkelsø,but this time made by Hjørring Møbelfabrik, Denmark and I thought you might  be interested in this further info and if yours are stamped you might share a photo of same?

1st link on Danish Furniture Index shows the armchair only:

2nd link is to a Lauritz sold listing. ( no labels or marks shown) and shows the armchair,sofa and side table.

So made under licence in Norway, Denmark and Finland.

Nice upholstery colour choice BTW.

Hi @lexi my sofa has no markings, I had a thorough look. My wife loves bright colours, it sits alongside two Borge oak chairs in bright pink! Cheers.
