The Cow Horn Chair was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner, released in 1952. It is recognized by its supportive bentwood back and armrests resembling a cow’s horns, connected with traditional contrasting rosewood joints.

The chair’s upright back, cane wicker seat, and rounded silhouette was influenced by Wegner’s admiration for the Shakers and the Chinese Ming Dynasty chairs.

Hans Wegner

Hans Wegner (1914-2007) was a Danish furniture designer known as the "Master of the Chair," significantly influencing Danish Modern design worldwide. He began his career after studying at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts and opening his own studio in 1943. Wegner created over 500 chair designs, including the iconic Wishbone Chair (1949), Round Chair (1949), and Flag Halyard Chair (1950). His philosophy, "A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles," guided his detailed approach. Wegner's work elevated Danish design on the global stage, earning him countless awards and museum exhibitions.
