Hans Wegner Cow horn chair

Size:490*550*740mm

Material:wood/PU

Designed in 1952 the Cow Horn Chair is the immediate follow up on the

breakthrough of Wegner's carrier, the Round Chair (pp501/pp503 | The

Chair), and the continuity in shape and philosophy is obvious. But serving a

different purpose Wegner created a chair that was to play an important role

in his following line of works.

Given the homage to the breathtaking beauty of solid wood manually carved

in organic shapes, Wegner wanted to make a compact chair. Hence the solid

wooden pieces making the armrests and back are now reduced to two, thus

being joined in the middle. The joint obviously needs to be aligned with the

grains of the wood as some kind of tenons and could be dowelled, but in

this case Wegner decided that instead of hiding the necessary joint he would

rather enhance it and make it a decorative part of the design. To obtain the

full visible effect, Wegner uses wood of a contrast colour.

This original idea would later become a characteristic trademark for many of

his works and an important example of his honest and craftsman-like

approach to design.
