Carl Hansen & Søn's Vega chair is Vilhelm Lauritzen's elegant creation from 1956. Lauritzen originally designed the stackable, gracefully structured chair for the People's House cultural center in Copenhagen, today known as Vega.
Until recently, the refined chair could only be admired in Vega's concert halls, but now the mood of the modernist masterpiece can be introduced to your home interior as well – the charming Vega chair is the perfect companion for both the dining table and the desk.
Architect and designer Vilhelm Lauritzen (1894–1984) was one of the most significant Danish architects of his era and a figurehead of Danish functionalism. Lauritzen’s work is still widely visible in various places around Denmark – the Nørrebro Theatre, Copenhagen’s Daells Varehus and the first terminal of Kastrup Airport are great examples of his modernist style. Lauritzen often designed also the furniture and lighting for his buildings, and some of his best-known design pieces are the Radiohuset lamps, designed for Frederiksberg’s radio building and produced by Louis Poulsen. “No life without aesthetics” was Lauritzens firmly held belief, and he considered architecture as a form of applied art. Vilhelm Lauritzen Arkitekter, founded by Lauritzen in 1922, is nowadays one of the most valued architectural offices of Denmark.
