Who designed the Croissant Lounge Chair?

The Croissant Lounge Chair was designed by Danish furniture designer Ilum Wikkelsø in the 1950s. GUBI later reissued the design, preserving its original sculptural character while applying contemporary craft standards.

What is the Croissant chair's frame made of?

The chair is built on a curved hardwood frame, which gives the silhouette its distinctive rolled, organic form. The upholstery is applied over padding that follows the frame's contours to achieve the signature tufted, layered appearance.

What upholstery options are available for the Croissant?

The Croissant Lounge Chair is available in a wide selection of fabrics and leathers. Because it is made to order, upholstery choice significantly shapes the character of the finished piece, from understated to richly textured.

How does the Croissant relate to Chesterfield design?

Wikkelsø drew on the Chesterfield's tufted upholstery tradition but abandoned its rigid, rectilinear structure in favor of a softer, more sculptural form. The result retains the Chesterfield's sense of craftsmanship and depth while moving it into a distinctly mid-century Scandinavian idiom.

Is the Croissant Lounge Chair made to order?

Yes, the Croissant Lounge Chair is produced as a made-to-order piece, allowing for selection of upholstery material, color, and finish. Lead times vary depending on configuration and current production schedules.
