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.
