Hans Wegner's Ox Chair: Where Sculptural Form Meets Supreme Comfort
When furniture becomes more than just a place to sit—when it makes a statement, challenges convention, and becomes art—you know you’re in the presence of something iconic. The Hans Wegner Ox Chair is exactly that. Bold, uncompromising, and unapologetically sculptural, this mid-century masterpiece has captivated design lovers for decades.
A Chair That Roared Into Design History
First introduced in 1960, the Ox Chair was Hans J. Wegner's departure from the light, wood-based Danish design language that defined much of his earlier work. Inspired by the horns of a mighty bull, Wegner crafted this piece with oversized proportions, a commanding silhouette, and a futuristic edge that was ahead of its time.
“We must take care that everything doesn’t get so dreadfully serious. We must play—but we must play seriously.” – Hans Wegner
The Ox Chair is exactly that kind of serious play—full of personality, yet grounded in meticulous craftsmanship.
Why the Ox Chair Still Stuns Today
While other designs have come and gone, the Ox Chair has endured. Why? Because it dares to be different. And in the world of interiors, that’s a rare trait.
🔹 Statement-Making Form
The Ox Chair isn't just a seat—it's a sculpture. With its broad, winged headrest and confident angles, it commands attention in any room. Whether in a minimalist loft or a curated studio, the Ox Chair instantly elevates the space.
🔹 Exceptional Comfort
Don’t let the edgy design fool you—this chair is made for lounging. The seat and backrest are generously padded with high-density foam, creating a cloud-like experience without compromising the chair’s visual boldness.
🔹 Built to Last
Crafted with a tubular stainless steel frame and finished with polished chrome, the structure is as durable as it is beautiful. The upholstery is available in:
-
Top-grain aniline leather – Soft, natural, and designed to age beautifully.
-
Premium cashmere wool – Luxurious texture with a cozy, tactile appeal.
Both options are tailored by hand, with custom colors available to suit your personal aesthetic.
