Meet the designer

One of the most prolific Danish talents of his time, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) designed roughly 500 chairs, many of which have become classics that are still in production today. Wegner is part of the “Golden Age’ of modern Danish design, known for his fascination with wood and for infusing functional designs with a poetic, playful edge. For Wegner, a chair isn’t just a piece of furniture, but a work of art made to support the human form.

Did you know?

Wegner's personal favourite
The Ox Chair is one of Wegner’s boldest and most sculptural designs. The chair was one of his personal favourites. In fact, he kept one in his own living room.
Originally named AP46 Chair
It was first later on that the Ox Chair got its characteristic name, referencing ox horns and its voluminous body.
A demanding task
Training a new upholsterer for this chair takes 1.5 years due to the complex upholstery, which demands precision and muscular strength from the upholsterer.
