Originally designed in 1965 for the furniture maker Holger Christiansen, the V11 went on to become one of Wikkelsès most wildly successful designs, generating demand all over the world. It has been featured everywhere from the office of the president of Japan to the palace of the king of Saudi Arabia, and has sustained an unwavering appeal among collectors and design aficionados in every decade since its launch. Returned to production by GUBI, the V11 Ottoman serves as at-a-glance testimony to Wikkelsès forward-thinking, quintessentially modern style as a designer, but it is not until the moment one sits in it that his exceptional craft and dedication to physical comfort and flexibility become immediately, irresistibly clear.
