PRESENT DAY. The Ox Chair in Leather Max 91 Nutshell.
When The Ox Chair was first introduced in 1960, it presented a
strikingly bold and confident design, standing in contrast to the
understated approach of Scandinavian furniture.
Referencing ox horns, a voluminous body, and a delicate
frame, the sculptural chair exemplifies Wegner’s profoundly
organic and artistic approach to furniture design, expressing
his ambition to redefine traditional norms. Within Wegner’s ex-
tensive portfolio, the iconic Ox Chair is hailed as one of his
ultimate masterpieces.
With its distinctive contours, refined craftsmanship and ground-
breaking complex upholstery, The Ox Chair is arguably Wegner’s
most remarkable design. It is daring and creative while also
serving as an analysis of body postures, inviting various seat-
ing options. Wegner furnished his own living room with The Ox
Chair, considering it a personal favourite.
