The history of the Queen Chair
 
The Queen Chair - EJ 101 is an iconic mid-century modern chair design created by the legendary Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner in 1950. Known for his mastery of organic forms and innovative use of natural materials, Wegner's Queen Chair exemplifies his signature style and enduring influence on Scandinavian design.
 
Characterized by its elegant, high-backed silhouette and sumptuous, enveloping shape, the Queen Chair was conceived by Wegner as a celebration of the human form. Drawing inspiration from the natural curves of the body, he crafted a seat that would cradle and support the sitter in a warm, cosseting embrace, providing exceptional comfort and freedom of movement.
 
The Queen Chair's distinctive profile is achieved through the use of a continuous, sinuous frame of solid wood, which is then complemented by a supple, upholstered seat and backrest. This innovative combination of materials not only lent the design a striking visual presence, but also ensured exceptional durability and stability.
