The name Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is inseparable from his
unrivalled chairs, which helped Danish design to achieve its
international breakthrough. Every design fan has his or her
favorite from among Wegner's approximately five hundred creations.
Today, there is a hardly a glossy interior design magazine that
does not include an illustration of the elegant China Chair (1943)
or the Y Chair (1950), and even John F. Kennedy sat on his Round
Chair, which is now simply called The Chair (1949). Trained as a
furniture maker, Wegner usually made his prototypes himself by
hand, using traditional joinery techniques such as
tongue-and-groove or finger joints. In the process he pushed the
limitations of wood, giving his designs an unmatched elegance. His
sense of humor did not fall by the wayside, either, as evidenced by
his splendid Peacock Chair (1947) or the masculine Ox Chair (1960),
that latter of which is available with or without horns. (English
edition ISBN 978-3-7757-3809-5)
