COLONIAL CHAIR
Refined and luxurious all at once with contrasting forms and materials.
This stylish chair is a true pleasure to experience.
Known as a minimalist and functionalist, Wanscher also
had a predilection for the slim and refined. Yet despite its
slender dimensions, the Colonial Chair is very stable, its
strength lying in the carefully designed bracing.
The design’s sophisticated, slightly curved armrests rise
to a point before taking a turn downward – a trademark
Wanscher feature. The front and back legs are made of
roundwood timber, with the back legs curving gently
outward for added stability and a more refined silhouette.
Fifteen years later, Wanscher would design the matching
Colonial Sofa and Colonial Coffee Table, creating the
Colonial Series. The Colonial Chair is available with the
matching OW149F footstool for added comfort.
In 1949, Ole Wanscher introduced his Colonial Chair – a modern design with
historical roots that remains his most famous furniture work.
