Hans J. Wegner, often referred to as the father of Danish design, brought Danish furniture to the global stage through his innovative and ergonomic designs. The son of a cobbler, Wegner developed an early affinity for craftsmanship and wood, which became central to his design philosophy. Over the course of his career, he created over 500 pieces, many of which have become milestones in design history.
Wegner’s approach was rooted in the belief that furniture should be as simple and genuine as possible, aiming to bring vitality and spirit to his creations. His contributions to modern design earned him recognition, including an honorary membership in the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1995 and an honorary doctorate from the Royal College of Art in 1997.
This table stands as a testament to Wegner’s enduring legacy, combining functionality with a timeless aesthetic that continues to influence design today.
