Product Details

Product Description

The 'JH571' desk, designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1953, embodies his signature style with its angled legs and diagonal struts, reminiscent of seventeenth-century Spanish tables. The desk's various parts are crafted separately, and the drawers hang loosely from the rectangular tabletop, resulting in a sleek and elegant design that still possesses a strong graphic aesthetic. Hans J. Wegner was a prolific furniture designer known for his deep understanding of materials and construction techniques, as well as his desire to create expressive and exciting designs. He was not a rigid functionalist, instead imbuing his designs with a sense of inventiveness and sculpture. Despite his relentless pursuit of the perfect chair, Wegner acknowledged that perfection was unattainable, which allowed him to produce an impressive catalog of over 500 designs. His work can be found in some of the world's most prestigious buildings, including the UN and NATO headquarters'and UNESCO's headquarters.
