. . . in case anyone is looking for a last minute Christmas present:
https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/seating/armchairs/upholstered-bullhorn-chair-hans-wegner/id-f_433457/
Initially made for the 1960 Guild Exhibition. Not sure how many were ever made. Two brown leather versions sold at Wright and Phillips, respectively, in 2013.
A similar version was also made for the 1957 exhibition (last photo)

Now that is a nice chair. Surprising the 1stDibs seller did not show the Johannes Hansen stamp. One would want to see the stamp for that kind of pocket cleaning price.
And how in the world did they upholster that back rest?

And a nice pair of photos on one page from the Jens Bernsen Wegner book, that show both models at a 1965 exhibition. The 1957 version even has a bones version next to it (as does the Ox chair in the other photo)
