Taking its name from its distinctive T-shaped backrest, the Carl Hansen & Son OW58 T-Chair is characterised by beautiful carpentry and a fusion of classic and modern lines that lend the piece a light and elegant appearance. The leather upholstery lends the chair an air of sumptuous sophistication, allowing you to relax in comfort around a dining table, or in your living room. The chair is manufactured at Carl Hansen & Son’s Gelsted factory, where skilled joiners and craftsmen work closely to replicate Ole Wanscher’s original design. The only adjustment is in the chair’s height which has been increased by an inch to enhance the chair’s ergonomics. Also available, the Carl Hansen OW58 T-Chair with a fabric seat.
Ole Wanscher (1903-1985), was born in Copenhagen in 1903 and was an architect and professor of architecture with furniture designs as his specialty. He came to shape Danish furniture, both as an active designer and as a master teacher. His furniture designs are now considered to be modern classics - sophisticated and functional with an exquisite attention to detail.
