    Description

    Hans J. Wegner showed an early interest in the rocking chair as a design object, and J16 was one of his first chairs ever put into production. The very first version was designed in 1944. After a process to make the chair easier to manufacture, the production could start. Wegner’s J16 has proved so viable that it has been in demand ever since it first came on the market. The paper cord seat offers a comfortable seat as a plastic-free alternative to polyurethane foams. This furniture is made from solid wood that stores carbon and – if kept well – will get a beautiful patina. As needed, the surfaces can be sanded down and restored by skilled locals anywhere in the world. The wood used for this furniture is traceable to the source with oak variants being FSC®-certified. Comes in light oiled oak with natural paper cord.

    Vendor Info

    Established in 1911, Fredericia is a family-owned design company. In 1955, visionary businessman Andreas Graversen integrated Fredericia's heritage of high-quality furniture with modernist ideals in a close, well-known collaboration with Børge Mogensen. Mogensen's intuitive understanding of materials and strong sense of proportions led to a range of iconic pieces celebrated to this day - by collectors, museums, architects and designers around the world. Ever since the untimely death of Mogensen in 1972, Fredericia has continuously evolved by staying in tune with the times. Throughout the years, the Graversen family has expanded Fredericia's circel of designers - who each contribute to the renewal and reinterpretation the Fredericia design ethos in new context.
