Hans J. Wegner - Model JH-501: "The Chair", 1949
This early version of Hans Wegner's most iconic design was simply known as the 'The Chair' when it was first produced or fondly as 'The Round One' by Wegner himself. This iteration with a woven rattan cane seat was the 2nd of 3 that Wegner designed in quick succession starting in 1949. It remains his most well-known design from an illustrious career. This example was made in European oak and the original cane seat remains in excellent condition. It has been carefully restored and revived using Danish oil. Produced by Johannes Hansen, Denmark.
