ABOUT PRODUCTID 19601
This office chair, attributed to Hans J. Wegner for the Danish company Carl Hansen & Søn, was produced in the 1950s and exemplifies Scandinavian mid-century modern design. Crafted from solid oak, the frame shows off a deep, satin-stained surface, enhancing the natural grain of the wood. The seat is upholstered in matte black natural leather, gently contoured for ergonomic comfort. The backrest features two horizontal rails—the upper one displaying artistic cutouts with an organic, sculptural quality. The legs are turned, slender, and subtly splayed, joined by understated cross stretchers for stability and visual lightness. All joints are concealed, reflecting precise, handcrafted workmanship. Condition: professionally restored with no visible scratches or signs of wear; both wood and upholstery appear fresh, with no traces of patina or non-original interventions.
This piece speaks softly in the language of an era where simplicity signified respect for both material and user. Its form—gentle, free from excess—invites one to sit and focus on what matters, undistracted by superfluous detail. The oak conveys the warmth of its time, while the leather adds a refined restraint. The curved backrest evokes a sculptural tradition, marking a dialogue between craft and daily utility.
The chair could be combined with a minimalist desk from the 1950s or 60s, or juxtaposed with raw metal or glass elements to highlight its slender silhouette. It works equally well in mid-century modern settings as in contemporary offices or collector's living spaces—alongside a relief-fronted sideboard, a vintage modernist lamp, or neutral textiles. Pairing it with other light wood or matte metal pieces will create a composed and harmonious arrangement.
