Denmark (1914 - 2007):

Hans J. Wegner opened his own design studio in 1943, and in 1944 he designed his first "China Chair" in a series inspired by the Chinese Emperor's thrones. One of the chairs in this series is what is probably Wegner's most famous work the Wishbone chair which he designed in 1949, and which Carl Hansen & Søn have manufactured since 1950. His works are exhibited at major international museums including The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich.
