The China Chair™ was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944. Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of ancient Chinese design in the 17th and 18th century, the China Chair epitomises his lifelong quest to understand the nature of wood and explore its possibilities. In his modern interpretation, he unfolds his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive and sculptural functionalism.

The China Chair shows Wegner’s firm belief that furniture should be beautiful from all angles, as freestanding monuments to the inseparable relationship between handcrafted forms and the fine, natural materials
