Abstract
Hans Wegner, one of the legendary designers who led the 20th century Nordic modern design, is a representative furniture designer of Danish Modern. His beautiful proportions, elaborate structure, lightweight and simple chairs show the essence of Danish modernism for mass production. Designed and built over 500 chairs, he demonstrated the essence of chair design through a fully structured prototype. He shows his passion and craftsmanship as a designer through over 1000 designs. In addition, chair design shows the value of timeless design and is loved by modern times. Therefore, this study aims to study the characteristics of chair design by Hans Wegner and to help furniture design education by analyzing design, structure, function and material.
