Hans Wegner 'AP-15' Wingback Lounge Chair in Teak and Fabric, Denmark 1951

Creator: Hans Wegner
Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
Hans Wegner is one of the great Danish design masters and this rare AP-15 wingback lounge chair is an example of his class. The teak frame is a master class in Danish woodworking. Its front legs, which are rounded at the bottom, move upwards in an organic movement and are perfectly connected to the armrest by means of a beautiful wood connection. It goes from round shapes to rectangular parts and back again. The armrests are extremely ergonomic and your arms are totally relaxed when being placed on them. As with many of Wegner's designs, the hind legs are closer together than the front legs. The result is a very sturdy chair that slightly leans back to facilitate maximum seating comfort. We would like to take the opportunity to point out the beautiful patina. The dark brown teak has aged beautifully with its accents and different shades. The seating area of this lounge chair is truly phenomenal. A spacious seat is supported by eight original compression springs and a generous backrest embraces the person who takes a seat in this chair. On top of that, a large wing provides support to the head at all times. The chair has been reupholstered in a bold two-tone light blue and soft yellow velour which makes this AP-15 unique in terms of appearance. Its condition is good with here and there unevenness on the frame. Older moisture stains and discolorations are part of this. Please note that this does not affect its striking appearance
