Just one design, the Chair, created in 1949, assured Danish designer Hans J. Wegner a seat among the greatest designers in the world, but when he died in Copenhagen on Jan. 26 at 92, he also had a place among the most prolific. He created on average five new chairs for every year he lived.
To create the perfect chair was a quest he never lost sight of.
"The good chair is a task one is never completely done with," Wegner (pronounced Vay-ner in Danish) has been quoted as saying. It was "a continuous process of purification, and for me of simplification, to cut down to the simplest possible elements of four legs, a seat and combined top rail and arm rest."
