	Hans J. Wegner - danish-furniture.com
		With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914–;) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale.
		The real beauty of Wegner’s genius must be seen in context with his collaboration with master cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen.
		Wegner’s design went on to win worldwide recognition through the 1950’s and 1960’s and his furniture, in particular his chairs, are to be found in the permanent collections of the world’s most prestigious museums.

		Wegner inscribed his name in the history of design first and foremost via a range of chairs which are without predecessors in furniture design, yet stand there in their own right and as the most natural thing in the world, inevitable, like new letters in the alphabet.
		Hans Jørgensen Wegner was born on 2 April 1914 in Tønder, the son of a master cobbler and member of the town council, Peter M Wegner.
		Hans J Wegner began as a cabinetmaker's apprentice, for in the workshops on Smedegade he had discovered, at an early age, that he had a sense and a feel for wood and a love of this material.
