Hans J. Wegner The Chair
Our STIN Hans J. Wegner The Chair is a faithful reproduction of this famous iconic furniture design. Hans J. Wegner's The Chair was originally named 'The Round Chair'. But after being used to seat John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in the first televised election debate in 1960, it became known as 'The Chair'. Our Hans J. Wegner The Chair has all the functional elegance and comfort of the original. The wooden frame is made from a choice of quality oak or ash and has a gracefully arched backrest that supports the body. The seat is lightly padded with high quality classic leather, making it perfect for everyday use.
The story behind Hans J. Wegner The Chair
Designed in 1949, Hans J. Wegner referred to his creation as 'The Round One' due to the curved backrest. Modest and simple, the design is the very essence of traditional Danish wood and furniture design. In the 1950s, it was noticed by 'Interiors', an American magazine for design and architecture. They described it as 'the most beautiful chair in the world'. Legend has it that this was the catalyst that propelled Danish furniture design to compete at an international level. Among Wegner's iconic chair range you also find the Teddy Bear Chair, the Peacock Chair Oak and the China Chair.

Very high quality. Cannot tell the difference between the original and this one.

While I was waiting on the chair I was a little worried about the wood grain would be like proper uniform, and whether there would be likely to be color-shades of the wood. Concerns were happily proved wrong - the chair is fantastic - and looks like this looked better than it is in the picture. the wood grain is very nice, but I've been in a genuine (not replica) edition of the chair, and there are veins slightly more similar on both arms and straighter, which is probably because the replica is machine-sanded. the special and difficult assembly of the armrest three parts are made very flat. There is something that seems like a small cosmetic defects on one arm, but it may actually be that it's just a natural shift in the tree structure. I see no reason not to give the chair 6 stars. all in all I am very happy and it's not my last purchase from OSKAR.

I received the chairs almost as promised, they were perfectly wrapped, it was actually difficult to extract them. The quality of the chairs is obviously not quite on a par with the original, nor can it be expected-. Sorting of the wood used could be better color differences-. The abrasion of the surface is made evident by machine, since there are waves in accordance with the tree structure. stronger than the original, but it looks really very pretty.
