The Wing Chair and the Oculus Chair

"A chair is only finished when someone sits in it" - Hans Wegner

The 'Wing' Chair is an interesting example of Hans J Wegner's skill and design aesthetics. The easy chair is fully upholstered and built upon a solid beech frame that rests on hand-finished steel legs. It's a very sculptural piece of furniture to look at but its true beauty lies beneath the surface. What you don't see is how the design of the backrest and the seat enables a variety of positions, always providing excellent support for the back, shoulders, neck and head. At the same time, the thin legs give the chair an ideal pitch because the front legs are slightly higher than the back legs.

It was designed in 1960 and originally produced in very limited numbers. Carl Hansen & Son re-launched the chair in 2006 based on Wegner's original 1:1 drawings.

The 'Oculus' Chair was also designed by Wegner in 1960 but it was not put into production until Carl Hansen & Son launched it in 2010 based on Wegner's original design. The curve of the back embraces the sitter and the sloping armrests provide great comfort for reading and relaxing.

This Autumn, Aram Store and Carl Hansen & Son are offering both of these lounge chairs at a very special price of £2,295 each. They are both available in a selection of six fabrics in warm, neutral tones. The offer runs until 31 December 2013.
