Wegner for cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, Denmark. One of Wegner’s most sculptural and technically accomplished chair designs, the Cow Horn Chair exemplifies his ability to transform traditional woodworking into an expressive modern form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe chair takes its name from its remarkable \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003esweeping backrest\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, whose two projecting ends resemble the horns of a cow.
