Designed in the early 1940s and originally commissioned for Denmark’s Aarhus City Hall—a project led by renowned architects Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller, who entrusted Hans J. Wegner with the furnishings—the Town Hall Chair is a genuine piece of Danish design history.
Crafted from solid oak, each chair has been reupholstered in premium cognac leather, true to its original design, and carefully cleaned and lightly waxed to revive its shine while preserving its beautiful patina. Each chair has aged uniquely, with one displaying slightly darker tones than the other. This highly versatile piece makes an ideal addition to any setting—be it an office, living room, or master bedroom.
The clean lines, superb proportions, and exceptional comfort foreshadow Wegner’s future success as one of the most acclaimed designers of the post-war era. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
