Chromed Elegance Meets Timeless Design: Introducing the Vega Chair

Bridging the gap between past and present in the world of interior design, the Vega Chair with a chrome frame emerges as a beacon of sophistication. This masterpiece, originally designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen for the Vega concert hall in 1956, now reimagined for contemporary spaces, marries the elegance of yesteryears with today’s design ethos.

A Legacy Reborn

Vilhelm Lauritzen, a name synonymous with visionary architecture, originally crafted the Vega Chair as part of his comprehensive design for Copenhagen’s Vega concert hall. Until recently, this iconic piece remained exclusive to its original setting, unseen by the wider public. In a groundbreaking collaboration, Carl Hansen & Son and Vilhelm Lauritzen Architects have brought this historic design back to life, making it available to a global audience for the first time.

Modern Craftsmanship

The chair’s latest iteration boasts a chromed steel frame, offering a striking contrast to the warm tones of wood and upholstery. Its design features a dynamic backrest curve that imbues the piece with a distinct character, while the precision of the turned wooden legs exemplifies unmatched craftsmanship. Designed to be as practical as it is beautiful, the Vega Chair can be stacked up to eight units high, making it a versatile addition to both residential and commercial spaces.

Sustainable Elegance

Set to hit stores in February 2024, the Vega Chair VLA26 marries aesthetics with ethics. With a starting price of 438 EUR, it presents an investment in sustainable design, featuring FSC-certified oak and options for leather or fabric upholstery. This chair is not just a piece of furniture; it’s a statement of environmental responsibility and design excellence.

The Vega Chair stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of thoughtful design. Its introduction to the market is a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and sustainability, promising to enhance any space with its elegance and practicality.
