Description

An elegant, linen-bound overview of midcentury Danish modernist Hans J. Wegner’s unrivalled chairs, still strikingly modern and coveted after decadesThe name of Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is inseparable from his unrivalled chairs, which have helped Danish design achieve international recognition. Any fan of design has his or her favorite among Wegner's approximately 500 creations, and there is hardly an interior design magazine that has not included an illustration of his elegant China Chair (1943) or Y Chair (1950). Even John F. Kennedy sat on the Round Chair, now known simply as The Chair (1949). Trained as a furniture maker, Wegner typically made his prototypes by hand, using traditional joinery techniques such as tongue-and- groove or finger joints. In the process, he often pushed the limitations of wood, giving his designs an unequaled elegance. Their beauty was matched by their practicality: he considered comfort and ergonomics to be equally as important as appearance. Despite his concern for functionality, his personality and sense of humor also shone through his works, as evidenced by his splendid Peacock Chair (1947) or the masculine Ox Chair (1960), available with or without horns.

  • Amazingly Readable
Format: Hardcover
This book is arranged historically and includes many wonderful documents. I enjoyed the copies of Wegner's own drawings and also the photos of prototype chairs that were never put in production. I thought that the book was very easy to read and follow. I enjoyed learning about the personalities behind Danish Modern design. Wegner was at the center of that post-war phenomenon. Clearly, echoes of that era still reverberate today. It is a big book, but I would have liked to see two things added. First, a little bit more space for the works of his contemporaries for context, and, Second, a photo index of his own furniture in chronological order. I highly recommend Wegner to anyone interested in furniture. ... show more

  • An Excellent Reference
Format: Hardcover
This is an excellent specialized reference book that most people won't need (go to a library) to own unless they are what I am, an accredited appraiser of personal property. All thumbs up.

  • ONE good chair.
Format: Hardcover
There was ONE outstanding chair design. Many pieces were very complex and fragile looking, they looked like pieces of ART not functional furniture.
