Together the Ox Chair and Ottoman showcase the best of Wegner’s renowned design aesthetic, an artistic and innovative approach embedded with functionalist style.
Challenging the understated aesthetics of Danish design, the chair’s bold and sculptural silhouette is complemented by the compact proportions of the Ottoman, jointly dominating spaces with an undeniable presence.
With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931 and subsequently entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938, he worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Muller's architectural office before establishing his own office in 1943.
