Master of the chair – Hans J. Wegner
Amongst Danish furniture designers, Hans J. Wegner is considered one of
the most creative and productive. He is often referred to as the master
of the chair – having designed more than 500 of them; many of these are
considered masterpieces of chair design and continue to be collector’s
items around the world.
Wegner received practically every major recognition given to
designers, including the Lunning prize, the grand prix of the Milan
Triennale, Sweden’s Prince Eugen medal and the Danish Eckersberg medal.
Wegner was an honorary Royal designer for industry of the Royal Society
of Arts in London. Almost all of the world’s major design museums – from
The Museum of Modern Art in New York to Die Neue Sammlung in Munich –
include his furniture in their collections.
