Another Wegner chair

Hans J. Wegner designed some 500 chairs in his 50-year career. If and when I finish this one, I'll only have four hundred and ninety-five to go. At least it helps to have good source material. In this case, it's the original drawing Wegner made for the woodworkers at PP Mobler, the Danish firm that produces the chair. Wegner designed this one as a modern take on the classic Windsor .
Enjoy.

Excellent!

Thanks, gents. I'm going to take this one slow, I think.

Effectively the more difficult must to find documentation!

Else you must steal it from a museum, dismantle, repast and discretly put back !

[davidheim1]

Easy, Frenchy. Wegner's chairs are in several museums, including one in his home town in Denmark. Fortunately, I don't have to steal anything as long as I have good digital documentation.

It's looking darn good so far!
