Made in Denmark—birthplace of the renowned furniture maker Fritz Hansen—this striking wingback chair is a standout example of Danish Mid-Century Modernism, with a silhouette that is instantly recognizable.

First introduced in Fritz Hansen’s 1951 catalogue, this model embodies the company’s legacy of producing some of the most iconic chairs of the mid-20th century. Like many of their designs, it represents a perfect balance of form and function—timeless in its appeal, yet ever contemporary.

Founded over 140 years ago in Copenhagen, Fritz Hansen began with a steadfast dedication to traditional Danish craftsmanship in woodworking and joinery. In the postwar era, propelled by visionary designers such as Arne Jacobsen, the company embraced innovation—adopting modern materials and forward-thinking techniques that positioned it at the forefront of Scandinavian design. The model 8023 wingback chair reflects this spirit of evolution. Often referred to as a “hammer” style, it features elegantly curved wings: the back wings curve inward, while the armrest wings arc outward, creating a beautifully balanced form that feels both open and inviting.
