Among the classic pieces by Wegner “The Chair” created in 1949 is believed to be the legend in the world of single chairs. Presented with the simplest structure as well as a round, smooth shape, it was highly praised on the furniture magazines in the U.S.A. the next year. In 1960, it was chosen by J. F. Kennedy as the chair for the first televised presidential debate, and has since gained great fame. This single chair is now collected by National Museum of American History – Smithsonian, Washington DC. The auction item is made of other material, as well as popular when it was first created.

“Peacock Chair,” another celebrated single chair by Wegner was named by Finn Juhl, who was attracted to the unique back of the chair. It is pretty hard to imagine that such a work with the shape of a peacock spreading its feather and a streamlined, modern structure was produced as early as in 1947.The model of the “Peacock Chair” was originated from the Windsor Chair in the 18th century, which was symbol of the affluent life of the middle-class family in old times.
