The history of the Oculus Chair
The CH 468 Oculus Chair is an iconic modernist furniture design created by the renowned Danish designer Hans J. Wegner in 1960. Characterized by its striking, sculptural silhouette and innovative use of materials, the CH 468 Oculus Chair exemplifies Wegner's pioneering vision and his enduring influence on Scandinavian design.
Wegner, who was a central figure in the Danish design renaissance of the mid-20th century, conceived the CH 468 Oculus Chair as a synthesis of organic and geometric forms. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, he crafted a chair that evokes the fluid, biomorphic shape of an eye or a cosmic portal, blending traditional craftsmanship with a bold, futuristic aesthetic.
The CH 468 Oculus Chair's distinctive profile is achieved through the use of carefully bent and laminated wood, which forms the chair's sinuous, asymmetrical frame. This innovative construction technique not only lent the design a striking visual presence, but also ensured exceptional comfort and support for the sitter.
