"A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles." -Hans J. Wegner

As Hans. J. Wegner's feminine counterpart to the Ox Chair, Queen manages to stand up as an equal match to the potent expression of that masculine icon. Wegner created Queen already in the 1960s, but the chair has never been launched before. Queen stands out with its long majestic back and neck support and its sublime seating comfort. Queen's elite design aesthetics, and its monumental appearance gives the Ox Chair a run for its money. Equal opportunities at last!

Hans J Wegner trained as a cabinet-maker before attending the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts, where he later lectured from 1946 to 1953. From 1938 to 1942, he worked as a furniture designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Moller's architectural practice. In 1943, he set up his own office in Gentofte and collaborated with Borge Mogensen in the design of an apartment shown at the 1946 Cabinetmakers' Exhibition in Copenhagen. Throughout his long career, he has designed furniture extensively for Johannes Hansen and Fritz Hansen. The Royal Society of Arts, London made him an 'Honorary Royal Designers for Industry' in 1959.
