Product Details

Product Description

The Hans Wegner-designed PP 505 Cow Horn chair, a Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern model, is a stunning work of art that packs a big punch in a small package. Despite being one of Wegner's smallest chairs, its design is nothing short of amazing. First introduced in 1952, the Cow Horn chair was created as a tribute to the striking beauty of solid wood carved into organic shapes. Wegner's aim was to craft a compact chair by using only two pieces of solid wood for the armrests and back, which were joined together in the middle. The joint was purposefully highlighted to enhance the chair's overall design, and the wood used was of a contrasting color. This innovative approach became a signature element in many of Wegner's subsequent works, exemplifying his dedication to honest and craftsman-like design. The Cow Horn chair is available with either a cane or upholstered seat, and features matching armrests cut from a single piece of wood. The chair's unique joint detail in the back is made of rosewood, and it is upholstered directly on the seat rails – a traditional approach that harkens back to earlier times. The PP 505 Cow Horn chair is offered in an oak finish, and is a premium example of Wegner's Danish-infused style.
