This iconic Mid-Century Modern “The Chair,” designed by Hans Wegner in 1949 (Model JH501), epitomizes Scandinavian minimalism and masterful craftsmanship. The elegantly curved ebonized wood arms and gently contoured backrest create a sculptural silhouette, while the woven natural cord seat adds warmth, texture, and functionality. Known for its seamless joinery and ergonomic design, this chair remains a celebrated masterpiece in the world of modern furniture.
This particular example features its original ebonized finish, lending a striking contrast to the natural woven seat. At the bottom of the legs, some of the finish has been scraped off by a previous owner—possibly from an unfinished refinishing project—though it still presents beautifully in its current condition. The chair’s enduring appeal and practical comfort make it perfect for a desk, dining room, or as a statement piece in any living space.
In very good vintage condition overall, the chair shows minor wear consistent with age and use, adding to its authentic character and charm. 30h x 25w x 19d seat height 18
