The Bull chair model JH 518 designed by Hans Wegner for Johannes Hansen
Denmark, 1961
Lacquered pine.The Bull Chair, model JH 518, designed by Hans J. Wegner for Johannes Hansen in 1961, is a striking example of Wegner’s sculptural approach to furniture design. This particular example, crafted in lacquered pine, stands out as an early production model, possibly even a prototype, making it a unique and significant piece.
The chair is named for its distinctive backrest, which features broad, horn-like extensions that give it a bold and dynamic character. This bold form balances aesthetics and comfort, while the rest of the design showcases Wegner’s signature focus on simplicity and ergonomic functionality.
