Clean and straight forward designs are the usually trademarks of Danish furniture. Danish furniture (Danska möbler) has fans of many lands. People who love the clean lines and simple elegance of Danish furniture tend to know a few of the Danish furniture designers. One of those designers was Hans J Wegner.
Hans J Wegner was a Danish designer who died recently in February of the year 2007. This very talented man designed over five hundred chairs in his lifetime. His work was no exception to the traditional trademarks of Danish furniture. This man who was born in Tonger, Denmark in the year 1914 was probably one of the most recognized and most successful furniture designers of Denmark. He graced the Danish furniture market with many of his wonderful designs for many years and people who truly love the Danish furniture look then they would surely respect this man as a classic designer.
One of his basic thought processes when it came to furniture (möbler) was that there should be no “back” to the chair. That means that from what ever way you looked at the chair there should not be a back seen anywhere, it should just be a fluid structure. Another of Hans J Wegner’s design was the ch 25 chair. This chair was constructed of wood and rope and created in the year 1950. This ch 25 chair was designed with woven seats and a woven back for Carl Hanson and Son. The chair was created with the front legs holding most of the support in the chair. The back legs were angled and this design works much better than those that were created from a similar design. There were many types of wood that were used in this chair and many types of paper ropes, this design of Danish furniture (Danska möbler) is sometimes compared to wicker furniture but the wicker furniture is a much less quality type of chair.
Over the many years that Denmark has created furniture there have been many different types of very skilled designers. Hans J Wegner will forever be considered a great engineer in Danish furniture design. His ch 25 is now valued at around $2000 which may seem like it is quite expensive but in truth the chair is worth every cent that it costs.
From the designers that have created many of the great Danish furniture (Danska möbler) we have learned that straight simple lines and elegant comfort works well in most of the rooms that you would put the furniture in. These Danish furniture designs are wonderful for many different styles of design. With so many wonderful designers of Danish furniture it is easy to see why so many people today and years before have loved the designs of great furniture makers like Hans J Wegner.
Danish furniture can be used in many different types of decorating designs and they furniture that can be used is also typically quite comfortable and satisfying to use. These styles can be used in many modern designs as well as many other designed rooms. Danish furniture is both functional and also very comfortable at the same time. Some may think that Danish furniture (Danska möbler) is not comfortable at all by the way that it looks but that is far from the truth. Many Danish designers have made plenty of wonderfully comfortable furniture and people today truly treasure much of Danish furniture.
