About the Original Designer
Hans J. Wegner was born April 2nd 1914 and passed on January 26th, 2007. Hans grew up in southern Denmark and early on made a profession in wood cabinet making. He developed an affinity toward crafting with natural wood. The famous Plank series combines Hans two favorite natural materials, wood and wool.

Later in life, he became part of the Copenhagen Carpenters guild and began attending furniture exhibits. Wegner will likely be remembered for his contributions toward Modern Danish Furniture Design. For Hans, this design would start with wooden chairs in his early years. Later he would use a combination of wood and fabrics in his designs, a good example being the Shell Chair.

Hans Wegner had many notable furniture releases during his career. In 1953 he released the Wegner Plank Sofa Series. This series consists of a 1, 2 and 3 seat configuration. Unmistakably Danish furniture design, the plank series features a solid ash arm, back and seat frame and soft houndstooth twill cushions. 1960, he released in limited production the CH445 Hans J Wegner Wing Loveseat. The wing Loveseat featured a solid wooden frame however it was covered with full upholstery in both leather and fabric. Hans received more than a few awards. In 1951, he took the Lunning prize and Gran Prix of Milan. In 1959, he was awarded Royal Designer by the Royal Society of Arts in London.

He made several of what are now considered his famous quotes with regards his furniture designs. “The good chair is a task one is never completely done with” and “We must take care that everything does not get so dreadfully serious. We must play but we must play seriously” are two of his well known.
