Admiring the sculptural minimalism inherent in Hans J. Wegner’s designs, Tadao Ando was inspired to create the captivating, sculptural form of the TA001P Dream Chair for Carl Hansen & Son. The seat of the TA001P Dream Chair is crafted from one sheet of three-dimensional plywood, testing the limits of what was thought possible with the material. The result is a sculptural masterpiece, a chair which has been crafted to look beautiful from any angle and which blurs the boundaries between art and functionality. Never forgetting comfort, the TA001P Dream Chair features an upholstered seat and a relaxing neck pillow, available in leather.
Japanese architect Tadao Ando’s design philosophy unites Japanese design traditions with modern Western expression.
Ando is inspired by Le Corbusier with a style that is minimalistic and innovative, with a focus on functionality. Ando has great respect for the work of Hans J. Wegner and has often used his furniture in his architecture projects. Ando produced his Wegner-inspired Dream Chair in collaboration with Carl Hansen & Søn, relying on century-long traditions of craftsmanship to achieve perfection.
