wegner flag halyard Designed by Hans Wegner Danish design promoted a sincere interest in the interaction between users
and their tools and a more organic understanding of form. Design should
appeal to all senses not just visible. The first decades after World War
II were the most fruitful period ever for Danish Design. Many Danish
designers achieved world fame along with Hans J. Wegner including Finn
Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Borge Mogensen, and later Poul Kjaerholm and Verner
Panton.
Hans J. Wegner was the carpenter who conceived of the design on the basis
of how a creative craftsman with good practical sense would go about the
task. Wegner himself described it in an interview with Henrik Sten Møller
as “a competition, so much to do, quality to live up to, and personal
competition between, among others, Borge Mogensen, Finn Juhl, and me.” But
as Henrik Sten Møller wrote many years later, “I would venture to say that
Hans J. Wegner is the most gifted cabinetmaker the world has ever known.”
Over the years, Wegner stated that many foreigners have asked him how they
made the Danish style. Wegner answered, “It was really nothing of the
sort. It was rather 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 armrest.” Wegner along with his
colleagues simplified the design process and created a world-renown style.
