Designed by Hans Wegner in 1960, the Ox chair is regarded a modern classic. Unlike most of Wegner’s wooden furniture design, the Ox chair is made of natural leather and chrome-plated steel legs. Due to the high level of craftsmanship and complex construction required to build the chair, production came to a stop until 1985 when Erik Jørgensen was contracted as manufacturer. The robust sculptural form was inspired by Picasso’s work. A footstool compliments the chair.
