Wegner "The Chair"
Inspired by the original design of Hans Wegner, this Wegner "The Chair" interpretation stays true to form and function of the original. "The Chair" is constructed of high quality Medium Brown Ash. Also available in American Walnut at $875.
Now for a bit of history. Wegner did not name his chairs, but assigned numbers. This chair was Number 501, "the round one." John F Kennedy requested this chair for his debate with Richard Nixon in 1960 on CBS, which was viewed by 70 million people. Kennedy choose this chair because he wanted a comfortable chair for his aching back. Besides its amazing comfort, it has been described as a sculptural semi-circle resting on four tapered legs. An example of elegance and economy of form.
