The China Chair™ was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944. Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of ancient Chinese design in the 17th and 18th century, the China Chair epitomises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities. In his modern interpretation, he unfolds his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive and sculptural functionalism. The China Chair shows Wegner’s firm belief that furniture should be beautiful from all angles, as freestanding monuments to the inseparable relationship between handcrafted forms and the fine, natural materials Hans J. Wegner used several years perfecting the design of his China Chair™. He has made various designs with the same aesthetics and visual appearance but this version is the only one that went into production and is still being produced. The original design was made out of cherry wood and even though it has been made in different types of wood over time, cherry is still used for producing the chair today. he China Chair™ armchair comes in two types of solid wood: natural cherry and black coloured ash. The chair has a reversible seat cushion, upholstered in leather with leather buttons.
