Wegner: Just One Good Chair

Delve into the timeless elegance of midcentury Danish modernist Hans J. Wegner's iconic chairs with this elegant, linen-bound overview. Hans J. Wegner, a pioneer in Danish design (1914-2007), achieved international acclaim for his unparalleled chairs that remain strikingly modern and highly coveted.

With around 500 creations to his name, Wegner's chairs have become synonymous with Danish design excellence. Whether it's the graceful China Chair (1943), the iconic Y Chair (1950), or the universally recognized Round Chair, now simply known as The Chair (1949), Wegner's designs are celebrated for their elegance and functionality. Trained as a furniture maker, Wegner crafted prototypes by hand, using traditional joinery techniques that pushed the limits of wood, resulting in unmatched refinement.
