Designed by Hans J. Wegner
Hans J. Wegner is acclaimed for his chair designs that made midcentury Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931, subsequently studying at the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) insisted on infusing his functional designs with a poetic and playful edge. Throughout a long and productive life, Wegner designed roughly 500 chairs, many of which have become popular classics that are still in production today.
