'Congo' Chair

History:
In 1953, Ilmari Tapiovaara received a traditional African chair from the Congo as a present from a friend. He got very excited by the structure of the chair, where the seat/back leg element is pushed through the back rest/front leg part, thereby locking in to the solid robust seat. Tapiovaara designed numerous versions based on the same theme, both from tubular steel and wood.

Johannes Hansen

Hans J. Wegner: “Valet Chair”. Sculptural, solid mahogany chair, seat with storage space underneath. Model JH 540. Designed 1953. This example made 1960s by cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen, stamped by maker.

Model presented at the Cabinetmaker's Guild Exhibition at Designmuseum Danmark, 1953. Literature: Grete Jalk [ed]: “40 Years of Danish Furniture Design”, vol. 3, pp. 244–247.

Produced by Th. Pedersen. Mahogany.

Hans J. Wegner designed his first windsor chair for Nyborg Public Libery in 1938. The backrest of the chair was intended to be made from a single piece of bent wood, but unfortunatly this was not possible for the cabinetmaker Th. Pedersen & Sons from Aarhus. 
The ”reading room” chair is made in mahogany and is to be seen as a first step towards Wegner’s more famous windsor chairs, such as the peacock chair from 1947.
The chair is designed and made only for Nyborg public library and is also Wegner’s first example of his ”international design signature” by making visible joints and highlighting the materials.
