Regal yet relaxed

The feminine counterpart to the Ox Chair is

Hans J. Wegner’s Queen Chair, which shares

many of the same features. With its ample,

almost cylindrical armrests and high, majestic

back that extends up to support the neck,

the Queen Chair is an equal match for the Ox

Chair’s masculine presence. Regal yet relaxed,

the Queen Chair embodies Wegner’s belief that

for a design to be striking it must be based

on practicality.

In 1960, the Ox Chair and the Queen Chair

were presented together at the Dansk

Købestævne exhibition, an annual showcase

for Danish industry and crafts, which included

an exhibition of furniture. It was a forerunner to

trade fairs as a meeting place for craftsmen,

industrialists and merchants to purchase and

promote Danish crafts.

The Queen Chair is one of Wegner’s most

elegant lounge chairs. It’s a true icon in its own

right, admired for its sophisticated construction

and sculptural aesthetic. It captures the

essence of Wegner’s innovative approach to

design, which is at once organic and artistic.

While at the same time, firmly based on

functionalism.
