Hans J.Wegner<\/strong>
\nHans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in T\u00f8nder, Denmark, the son of a shoemaker. At the age of 17, he finished his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker with H. F. Stahlberg, in whose workshops Wegner\u2019s first design experiments took form. When 20 years old, he moves to Copenhagen and attends the School of Arts and Crafts from 1936 \u2013 1938, before beginng working as an architect. As a young architect, Wegner joined Arne Jacobsen and Erik M\u00f8ller in \u00c5rhus, working on furniture design for the new \u00c5rhus city hall in 1940. It was during the same year that Wegner began collaborating with master cabinetmaker, Johannes Hansen, who was a driving force in bringing new furniture design to the Danish public.\u00a0 The Copenhagen Museum of Art and Industry acquired its first Wegner chair in 1942. Wegner started his own design office in 1943. It was in 1944 that he designed the first \u201cChinese chair\u201d in a series of new chairs that were inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs. One of these chairs, the \u201cWishbone Chair\u201d, designed in 1949 and produced by Carl Hansen & Son in Odense since 1950, became the most successful of all Wegner chairs. Among Danish furniture designers, Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative and productive. He is often referred to as the master of the chair \u2013 having designed more than 500 of them; many of these are considered masterpieces of chair design and are true collector\u2019s items.<\/p>\n
