Hans J. Wegner JH-550 Peacock Chair for Johannes Hansen, 1960 Denmark
The iconic JH-550 Peacock Chair, designed by renowned architect and designer Hans J. Wegner in 1947, was crafted by Johannes Hansen in Denmark. Inspired by traditional English Windsor chairs, the Peacock Chair exemplifies Wegner's remarkable design vision and aesthetic appeal. Constructed from ash and oak wood, it features solid teak armrests and a seat woven with natural cord, showcasing excellent craftsmanship. The nickname "Peacock" was given by Wegner's colleague Finn Juhl, who likened the spindles of the backrest to the elegant display of a peacock's feathers, highlighting the chair's organic design elements. This chair has been professionally restored by skilled artisans, maintaining the integrity of Wegner's original vision. It serves as a stunning focal point in any modern interior.
