Designer introduction:

Hans J Wegner

Hans Jørgen Wegner (1914-2007) is widely considered to be one of the worlds most influential leading forces of 20th century Scandinavian modern furniture design. He is the undisputed master of the Danish modern movement that swept the world by storm during the middle of the 20th century. Hans Wegner is one of the first names that comes to mind when one thinks of Danish Modern, together with other notable designers such as Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Poul Henningsen and Nanna Ditzel. The furniture by Hans Wegner is renowned for its simplicity, but is a source of both material and spiritual abundance. It typifies a timeless sense of Scandinavian modernism. Prominent examples of the quality modern furniture collection designed by Hans Wegner include the Wegner CH07 Shell Chair, Wegner CH24 Wishbone Chair, Wegner CH445 Wing Chair among numerous others.

Hans Jørgen Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark, the son of a shoemaker. At the age of 17, he finished his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker with H. F. Stahlberg. It is here that Hans Wegner first furniture experiments took form. When he was 20 years old, Hans Wegner moved to Copenhagen where he attended the School of Arts and Crafts from 1936 – 1938. Hans Wegner started his career as an architect and his architectural skills would remain clearly visible in the furniture he designed during his later career as a furniture designer. As a young architect, Hans Wegner joined Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller in Århus, working on furniture design for the new Århus city hall in 1940. It was during the same year that Hans Wegner began collaborating with the master cabinetmaker, Johannes Hansen, who was a driving force in bringing new modern furniture design to the Danish public.

Hans Wegner started his own design office in 1943. It was in 1944 that he designed the first "Chinese chair" in a series of new chairs that were inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs. One of these chairs, the "Wishbone Chair", designed in 1949 and produced by Carl Hansen & Son in Odense since 1950, became the most successful of all Wegner chairs and is still available today through stardust.com.

Among Danish furniture designers, Hans Wegner has left one of the most creative and productive catalog raisonnes. He received practically every major recognition given to designers, including the coveted Lunning prize, the grand prix of the Milan Triennale, Sweden’s Prince Eugen medal and the Danish Eckersberg medal. Almost all of the major design museums – from The Museum of Modern Art in New York to Die Neue Sammlung in Munich – include his furniture in their collections.

Hans J. Wegner is the undisputed master of Danish chair design. Many of his designs—such as the Wishbone Chair, Wegner Wing Chair, and Wegner CH07 Shell Chair—are internationally recognized classics. Hans J. Wegner always placed the highest demands on comfort and ergonomics. To Wegner, a chair isn’t just a piece of furniture, but a work of art made to support the human form.

About Hans J Wegner Shell Chair

The famous Shell Chair - sculptural, three-legged and eminently comfortable. The floatingform is highlighted by the wing-shaped seat and arching legs. The chair is often given a prominent location so that it can be admired from all sides. The chair is absolutely stable even though it only has three legs. Hans J. Wegner’s round coffee table, CH008, makes a handsome complement to the Shell Chair. The Shell Chair is made of form-pressed veneer.Seat and back are upholstered in fabric or leather. Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1963 .

The son of a shoemaker, Hans Wegner was trained as a cabinetmaker and architect. He studied at Copenhagen’s School of Arts and Crafts, which led to a job with Arne Jacobsen, designer of the Egg™ Chair, creating furniture for the new Århus City Hall. Wegner started his own design office, and in 1949, his light, sculptural forms caught the eye of the folks at Carl Hansen & Son. For the next 58 years, Wegner designed memorable, comfortable, stunning furniture for the Hansen company, which continues to produce his fully licensed works today. Regarded as the “chair-maker of chair-makers,” the Danish designer created more than 400 chairs in his lifetime. Wegner’s belief that a chair “should be beautiful from all sides and angles” is especially evident with his Shell Chair. This comfortable masterpiece is a marvel of grace and beauty. Made in Denmark.
