Mid-Century Chair by Horst Romanus Wanke, 1960s
About the Item
This chair by Horst Romanus Wanke is a really special and rare piece. The high backrest makes the chair almost a throne. Horst Romanus Wanke not only uses the many wooden sticks for the backrest but also for the feet. This makes the chair look like it could be flipped over and used from either side. But this is not the case, it is a nice optical gimmick. There are also smaller armchairs and stools from the series, the wooden sticks in the upper and lower area are the distinguishing feature.
This chair has a completely new upholstery in a lilac shade. Due to the unusual shape, it is not a chair that you have standing at the table. It is more suitable as a lounge chair, or as a highlight with which you can fill a corner.
The chair was produced by furniture manufacturer Wilhelm Benze in Germany.

- 1960s Mid-Century Modern Hans Wegner Peacock ChairBy Hans J. Wegner, Johannes HansenLocated in Fort Lauderdale, FLA Mid-Century Modern 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. Shallow chip on top of chair back measuring 1/2 inch long. Chair back’s sixth and seventh spindle from right slightly loose. Lamination along top of chair back slightly worn. Literature: 40 years of Danish furniture design: 1947-1956, ed. Grete Jalk, vol. 3 (Copenhagen: Lindhardt og Ringhof, 1987), pp. 15-17.
