Revamped Armchairs by Carl Hansen & Søn

Revamped Armchairs by Carl Hansen & Søn

Design Gallerist will show you how these Revamped Armchairs are so special and exclusive.

The Revamped Armchairs – Wing and Oculus – are the latest in a series of rediscovered and updated designs created by Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Søn – which honored the 100th anniversary of the designer by changing its logo to one created by Wegner in 1950.

Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative and productive Danish furniture designers of all time. He is considered a pioneering furniture designer of the twentieth century.

The chairs – which were previously only made with a stainless steel support – have been revamped with black lacquered frames to give the furniture a “younger, bolder expression”.

“Both designed over 50 years ago, Wegner’s Wing Chair and Oculus Chair demonstrate the furniture designer’s extensive knowledge of ergonomics and ability to design sculptural furniture with a simultaneously minimalist and organic expression,”

said the company.

Both chairs rest on slender legs and have an accompanying footrest. The Wing chair features a high back which swoops out into points, while the Oculus design has a more rounded form.

The Wing chair was first produced in limited numbers in 1960 – in 2006, basing it on the designer’s own 1:1 drawings.

Oculus, which was also designed in 1960 but never put into production, was launched by the brand in the same year. The chair is named after the Latin word for eye, as a reference to its curved back.
