Hans Wegner found inspiration for this timeless classic in traditional Chinese chairs from the 17th and 18th centuries. The China chair symbolises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities.
In Wegner's modern interpretation of historic Chinese chairs, he develops his talent as a wood craftsman and his taste for expressive and sculptural functionalism. He refined the design of the China chair over several years and created several versions. However, this is the only one that went into production in 1944.
The chair is meticulously handcrafted to order from solid wood. The cushion is upholstered on both sides in leather, with leather buttons. When registered within 3 months of purchase, the owner receives a 20-year warranty from the manufacturer.
