Designed by Hans J. Wegner, the Ox Chair is an iconic statement piece with an indisputable presence. A bold, sculptural chair that challenged the understated aesthetics of Danish design at the time, with its distinctive headrest referencing ox horns and its voluminous body. It demonstrates Wegner’s organic, artistic approach to furniture and desire to redefine traditional seating. The Ox Chair is arguably Wegner's most striking design, purportedly inspired by his fascination with Picasso's abstract paintings, claiming that design doesn't always have to be so "dreadfully serious". Wegner chose to furnish his home with the Ox Chair, as it was one of his favourites.
This product was manufactured at the Erik Jørgensen upholstery workshop in Denmark, where the skills needed for making this product are passed from one generation to the next.
