Designed by
Hans J. Wegner
The Chinese Chair is one of Wegner’s earliest designs in production yet it is produced using the most modern bending technique.
A single piece of steamed solid wood is compressed along its length using an advanced technical process and is immediately rounded before it is bent in three dimensions.
Bending a round piece of wood would appear to be simple, but because of the complexity of the bend, it requires advanced tools, specialised knowledge and experience to control the operation.
