• More Info - Like many other pieces of Hans J. Wegner’s furniture the Ox Chair was ahead of its time when it was made but is now it is regarded as a modern classic. It is a very powerful masculine chair and was Wegner’s favourite in his home. The dramatic ‘horns’ support the head and the angle of the seat means the sitter has to relax. It was designed to be roomy and inviting. It is one of his more playful designs and he said ‘we must take care that everything doesn’t get so dreadfully serious.’ It represents Wegner’s change in style because before he concentrated on more traditional wood pieces.
