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 J. Wegner

Born in Tønder, Denmark, Wegner’s designs were characterized by their organic functionality, a blend of traditional woodworking techniques and modernist principles. His work was marked by an emphasis on functionality and a deep respect for the materials, often working with wood, plywood, metal, caning, and papercord.

Wegner’s designs, including the iconic Wishbone Chair and Shell Chair, have become symbols of Danish design, embodying the country’s reputation for high-quality, modern furniture that balances human values with modernity. His influence on furniture design was profound, with his works exhibited in major institutions worldwide, such as The Museum of Modern Art in New York and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich.
