Wegner Queen Chair

The Wegner Queen Chair from Fredericia has the presence of a high-backed lounge chair without the visual weight one might expect. Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1960 as the lighter counterpart to his celebrated Ox Chair, its tall, sculpted back rises to support the neck while generous armrests curve outward around the sitter. Every expressive line serves a practical purpose, reflecting Wegner’s conviction that a striking form should begin with how beautifully it works. Fully upholstered over a solid wood frame and cold-cured foam, this lounge chair settles onto a slender stainless steel base that gives its regal proportions an unexpected sense of lightness.
