The Danish furniture designer Hans J Wegner (1914-2007) was one of the most influential designers when it came to the popularity of mid-century Danish design. His work reflected the minimalist aesthetic of Scandinavian design focusing on simplicity, functionality and beautiful craftsmanship. Throughout his life, Hans created around 500 chair designs, many of which became iconic and timeless pieces, earning him the name ‘master of the chair’. He always stated that he wanted to design one good chair. Luckily for us, he surpassed this numerous times over. His style often described as organic functionality consists of promoting harmony between the natural world and man-made elements. We see this implemented throughout his work by using natural materials like wood; the smooth forms and elegant lines imitating structures found in nature.
