Wegner, Finn Juhl, Kai Kristiansen and many others who made Danish design a global brand in the 1950s and 1960s. He was a carpenter's apprentice until 1938, and then was admitted to the Copenhagen School of Art, from which he graduated in 1941. After working for years as an employee, first with Jacob Kjær and then with partners Peter Hvidt and Orla Mølgaard, he started his own business in 1954. Many of his works have become classic design objects, among the best known are his rocking chair and armchair model V11.An important partner was C. F. Christensen, Silkeborg, for whom he designed the PLexus series and other light comfort chairs.DimensionsHeight: 25.6 in. (65 cm)Width: 29.14 in. (74 cm)Depth: 24.02 in. (61 cm)Seat height: 15.75 in.
