Also known as the “Round Chair” or simply “Chair”.\u003cbr\u003eThe Chair was designed in 1949 and introduced to the public at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Furniture Exhibition. It is made of solid wood (commonly teak or oak) and features a rounded top rail and beautifully woven cane or upholstered seat. One of its defining characteristics is its curved back rest that seamlessly combines form and function. The Chair is well-known for its organic, minimalist design and incredible attention to detail.\u003cbr\u003eThe Chair gained fame in the United States when it was used in the 1960 televised presidential debates between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy. After this exposure, it became extremely popular and was often referred to as “The Kennedy Chair”.\u003cbr\u003eWegner’s work, including The Chair, helped define the Danish Modern style that became popular globally in the 1950s and 60s. His designs emphasized function, beauty, and the use of natural materials, with a strong attention to detail and craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"js-info-details\" class=\"product-info-content collapse-partial in\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"js-heading-details\" data-section-name=\"details\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDimensions\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e24.75ʺW × 21ʺD × 30.25ʺH\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eStyles\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chairish.com\/style\/danish-modern\"\u003eDanish Modern\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSeat Interior Depth\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e17.5 in\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNumber Of Seats\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eSeat Height\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e17.0 in\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eArm Height\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e27.5 in\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eArtist\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.chairish.com\/maker\/hans-wegner\"\u003eHans Wegner\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003ePeriod\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMid 20th Century\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCountry Of Origin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDenmark\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Type\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd class=\"item-type-item\"\u003eVintage, Antique or Pre-owned\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-container\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list js-materials\"\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eTeak\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCondition\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eGood Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eColor\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBlack\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl class=\"detail-list js-detail-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"js-swap-sibling\"\u003eThis pair is in good used vintage condition.
