Each Wegner design reflects his superior understanding of wood as a material, its character, and its potential. Wegner’s experimentation in wood allowed him to exploit the unique characteristics and properties of different wood types to match both functional and decorative design requirements. Besides its mesmerising appearance, mahogany possesses great strength and durability, suitable for any chair design. It is a favourite amongst craftspeople for its ability to take intricate carving and the ease with which it can be worked on by hand. More than 100 steps are required to craft each Wishbone Chair, most of which are carried out by hand, which makes mahogany a well-fitted choice to shape this exquisite chair.
Hans J. Wegner’s world-famous furniture continues to carry influence within modern homes today. Even if not familiar by name, one will most likely have experienced a Wegner design in their lifetime.
A cabinetmaker first and foremost, Wegner’s curiosity for materials and a deeply rooted understanding of the characteristics of wood led him to create a whole new typology of furniture design that would forever put Denmark on the map as the birthplace of modern design.
