London-based designer Ilse Crawford and Danish design company Carl Hansen & Son have once again collaborated to reimagine five of Hans J. Wegner’s earliest designs.
The limited edition release titled ‘First Masterpieces’ is made up of five chairs in new environmentally-friendly, water-based paint colours taken directly from nature and which took months perfect: Pewter, Falu, Slate, North Sea and Seaweed. There was some reluctance to the addition of colour to such an iconic piece, however Crawford has admitted she is pleased with the end result which, to her mind, is neither trendy or pretty as the colours, while muted, have depth and resonance.
