Iconic ‘Peacock’ Chair Model JH-550 designed by architect and designer Hans J. Wegner in 1947 and produced by cabinet maker Johannes Hansen in Denmark. Inspired by a traditional English Windsor Chair, the Peacock chair is one of Wegner’s finest examples of his visually imposing design ideas and aesthetics. The frame is crafted in ash and oak wood with solid teak armrests and a seat with a new braided rush chord. The name “Peacock” chair was given by his colleague, Finn Juhl, who associated the back-rest spindles with a peacock appearance pointing out the organic attributes of the design. This chair has been professionally refinished by our skilled craftsmen maintaining the core of Wegner’s original design and would make the ideal focal point for any modern interior.
