Wood is the material of choice for Nordic furniture manufacturers, and several Scandinavian wooden chairs are among the great icons in the history of world design furniture - for example, the Wishbone Chair by Danish designer Hans Wegner (1950), published by Carl Hansen & Søn, the 66 Chair by Finnish architect and designer Alvar Aalto (1935), published by Artek, the J39 Chair by Danish designer Børge Mogensen (1947), published by Fredericia, and many others. These historic chairs are complemented by a host of attractive contemporary chairs.
We present here only wooden chairs with seats made of wood or paper cord, a highly resistant material widely used in Scandinavian design. For versions with upholstered seats, click here.
