Hans Wegner Chair to remember  

Hello room606. The Halyard...
Hello room606. The Halyard is stunning and unique, yes, however there's no wood on it (except wooden feet on the 1. series). And if there's something that's really Wegner, it's his love and understanding for how wood works.
I would probably put my personal vote on his Valet chair (PP250) or in Danish "The Jacket's Rest". It could be bought in several types of wood, has superb detailed craftmanship, beautiful sculptural lines and is highly functional. The idea behind it is great too. There's a place for your jacket, shirt whatever, your pants can be folded over the seat and your wallet, chains, keys whatever can be laid into the small room underneath the seat. Form follows function extremely well in this piece of art ... sorry, I mean furniture 🙂

I'm looking
at Wishbone chair and wondering about how it is made; the "turned" back leg takes a major s-curve forward above the seat, to support the arm, and so it couldn't have been done on a lathe. . .could it ?
Has to be done with a router or shaper, I guess; is the wood laminated into that curve ? I haven't looked at one in the flesh.

I don't think
the lovely and robust Peacock has been much abused (copied); the same could never be said of the low rush-seated folding lounge with its topside "handles". . .
