Historical Background
The Danish designer Hans Wegner (1914-2007).
After serving a apprenticeship, Wegner studied at the Copenhagen Institute of Technology from 1936-38, and later at the city’s School of Arts and Crafts. From 1940 on he worked with Erik Moeller and Arne Jacobsen. In 1946 he established his own studio. Throughout his career, his main focus lay on the design of solid wood chairs. Consequently, he created some of the most iconic chairs of the 20th century. His trend setting designs were manufactured by companies such as Fritz Hansen.
