Manufacturer SKU:
Understated Danish modern —
The Colonial Chair represents a slightly more conservative strand of Danish modern than we see from masters like Finn Juhl and Hans Wegner.
Details
A classic of contrasts
Seeming to defy gravity with compelling material contrast, the Colonial Chair (1949) is the most famous and enduring design from Denmark’s Ole Wanscher. Its name nods to Wanscher’s fascination with English furnishings from the 1700s and reflects his tenure as professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts from 1955 to 1973. Put into production in the mid-1950s, this chair combines impossibly thin Danish oiled oak with handwoven cane and luxurious aniline leather cushions. Made in Denmark.
