Hans Wegner's Chinese Chair

When I first saw this chair I immediately thought it was inspired by Hans Wegner's Wishbone chair (The Wishbone chair is light, comfortable, and has a beautiful curve to the back legs). But this chair was on sale for $2,000!

I found that it's called the Chinese Chair, and is another of Wegner's many chair designs.

From Danish Furniture Design:
"Inspired by classical portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs, Wegner created a series of chairs... Of this series the Wishbone Chair is widely considered to be his most successful design."





Kennedy and Nixon are sitting on Wegner chairs in this last photo.
