Designed in 1952 as a continuation of the ideas explored in the Round Chair, the Cow Horn Chair was developed for a different purpose. Hans J. Wegner created a more compact chair that would fit naturally underneath a dining table, while still carrying the same sculptural clarity in its construction. The back and armrests are formed from two large pieces of solid wood joined at the centre, where Wegner chose not to hide the necessary joint, but instead emphasise it through visible contrasting tenons. What began as a constructive solution became an important reflection of Wegner’s approach to design, where technical necessity and visual expression are closely connected.
