Catalogue Note:
Among the classic pieces by Wegner “The Chair” created in 1949 is believed to be the legend in the world of single chairs. Presented with the simplest structure as well as a round, smooth shape, it was highly praised on the furniture magazines in the U.S.A. the next year. In 1960, it was chosen by J. F. Kennedy as the chair for the first televised presidential debate, and has since gained great fame. This single chair is now collected by National Museum of American History – Smithsonian, Washington DC. The auction item is made of other material, as well as popular when it was first created.
