The Elbow Chair was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1956 but not put into production until 2005. Originally set aside due to the complexity of its design, technological advancements eventually allowed for its production.

The Elbow Chair features a steam-bent backrest crafted from a single piece of wood, providing elbow and lower back support. Its seat is made from 11 layers of laminated veneer, padded then upholstered. The seat appears to be floating on its frame and does not need a crossbar, contributing to its stackable Design.
