Cow Horn Chair: Cane Wicker

CAD $500

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.
