This is an extremely rare executive chair by Hans J. Wegner, model A721, crafted in Denmark in the early mid-century. The chair was designed specifically for Planmøbel in 1940, after Wegner had worked on the R√•dhus project with Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller. The A721 is considered one of Wegner's earliest chair designs, and its solid oak frame and leather upholstery showcase the high-quality craftsmanship of Michael Laursen, I.C.A Nielsen and Planmøbel. The chair features flared armrests - a signature design element for all armchairs made for the R√•dhus project - either carved into the wood or added as leather upholstered caps. The A721's flared armrests follow this same design, as does its original base and metal rise and tilt function. Later models of the A721 had heavier bases, but the original mechanism is praised for its elegant and practical design. The chair can tilt forwards and downwards (5cm range of movement) and backwards (8cm range of movement), and its seat height is adjustable within a 10cm range from 46 to 56cm. This chair is offered in its original condition, with original piped edge leather seat and back, leather armrests, and iron tacked hessian base. While the chair shows some signs of wear - primarily to the stained oak arms and the leather - it remains in very good vintage condition after 80 years of use. Dimensions are H90 x W62 X D60cm, with adjustable seat height from 46-56cm and arm height based on seat height adjustment + 10cm from 70-80cm. The A721 is a stunning example of Wegner's early work and a rare collector's item.
