American Ash - Cream Leather CODE: HW-LC-W27-LEA $555 (Out of Stock)
Danish designed in 1963, this modernistic lounge chair contributed to the widespread popularity of mid-century Danish designed furniture. Designed by “the master chair-maker’ himself, the chair was not immediately popular with the public. It was not until 1998 when the chair was reintroduced, it immediately won several design awards.
Its bold but floating lightness is achieved through winglike lines and arching curves. The three legged design provides stability and the bent shells offer generous comfort.
It is a powerful presence or statement for any home or space and it will certainly achieve the attention and admiration this chair deserves.
This is a Timeless Furniture Co Reproduction of the original design.

Hans Jorgensen Wegner at the age of 17 was apprenticed to a carpenter (H.F Stahlberg). It was here he developed his first design before attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, now know as ‘The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’.
From 1938 to 1942, he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller´s architectural practice. Throughout his long career, he has designed furniture extensively for Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen.
Hans J. Wegner is widely considered to be one of the leading figures in 20th century furniture design - and a driving force in the “Danish Modern” movement that changed the way people looked at furniture in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Royal Society of Arts, London made him an Honorary Royal Designers for Industry in 1959.
"He gave minimalism an organic and natural softness"
