The Beak Chair is the perfect example of designer Ole Wanscher’s sculptural flair; the meticulously crafted solid wood frame is complimented by its luxurious leather finish, to create a piece which exudes quality and possesses a timeless appeal. The chair takes its name from the unsupported armrest which extend from the main frame; delicate details which convey the thought and consideration evident throughout its design.
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.
