Ilse Lang Capincho Chair – Hans Wegner-Inspired with Embracing Textile Skin

About the Item

Designed by Ilse Lang, the Capincho Chair is a sculptural evolution inspired by Hans Wegner’s iconic forms. This expressive piece features a distinctive “skin” in the form of a tailored cover—available in leather or fabric—lined with mesh and shaped by a flexible insert that adapts to the sitter’s body. Much like a coat, the cover embraces the back with gentle support, combining comfort with visual softness. The solid wood base grounds the chair in warmth and craftsmanship, enhancing its architectural presence. A result of thoughtful material exploration, the Capincho Chair offers both structural innovation and emotional resonance. Ideal as a reading chair or design accent, it’s a collector-worthy tribute to classic Danish modernism reimagined through a Brazilian lens.

Hans Wegner Peacock Chair
By Hans J. Wegner, Johannes Hansen
Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL
A PP550 ‘Peacock’ chair designed by Hans Wegner in 1947 for Johannes Hansen. Modeled after a traditional American Windsor chair, Hans Wegner’s Peacock chair strips the form to reveal its construction while retaining aesthetic, decorative impact. The chair reveals a modernist approach to designing around the human body and using natural materials, with one exception. The “rush” seat is actually made of paper cord: when the chair was first designed in 1947, shortages caused by World War II prevented Wegner from using jute. Fellow designer Finn Juhl gave the nickname of ‘Peacock,’ seeing the chair’s flattened spindles and magnificent arc resembling the bird’s plumage. Dimensions: 41 3/4 in. H × 27 1/2 in. W × 20 1/2 in. D Seat: 22 1/2 in. x 19 3/4 in. x 12 in. at back Floor to top of seat: 14 in. Top of seat to arm rest: 10 1/8 in. Seat to top head rest: 31 3/4 in. Condition: Excellent, with some minor wear throughout. Wood splits to three of the seat joints measuring 1 inch, 1/2 and 1/4 inch on either side, and 1/4 inch. Area of discoloration to arm, possibly from sticker, measuring approximately 3/4 inch. Some nicks to side of one arm. On the other arm, a scratch measuring 1 1/8 inches on the side.
