Vitra - Miniatures Collection, 3 - Benet Skalstol chair

Hans J Wegner 3-benet skalstol miniature.

The Dane Hans J. Wegner is generally regarded as the founder of Danish modernism. When he created his 3-Benet Skalstol design, two-dimensional shaping of laminated wood and plywood had become a standard.

However, to stabilize the legs, Wegner refined the existing technology in this model by dividing the glued laminated wood frame at the joints in the legs into two separate strands, the corners of which kept each other in check. In terms of design and color, it was strongly influenced by Japanese tradition.

Dimensions; Depth / Length 13 Width 15.5 Height 12 cm.
