One of the most important and influential designers in history, Hans J. Wegner was a driving force in the midcentury Danish modern movement, an era that forever changed the way the world looks at furniture. He studied at The Danish School of Arts and Crafts under Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen before going on to work as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller’s architectural office. During this period, Wegner also began working with master cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen, as well as Michael Laursen. In 1940, he designed a rocking chair for Laursen, which became Wegner’s first mass-produced chair. Wegner opened his own studio in 1943 in Gentofte.
While he is best known for his chairs, Wegner also created memorable cabinetry. Over the course of his career, the designer collaborated with several renowned manufacturers, including Carl Hansen & Søns, Fredericia Stolefabrik, Getama, Fritz Hansen, Louis Poulsen, Ry Møbler and Andreas Tuck. Example’s of Wegner’s furniture are included in the permanent collections of the world’s most respected museums.
This is a fantastic set in super original condition and ready for use in your home. You can purchase the table brand new online for £2395 and the chairs for £795 each.
