Pre Production Ole Wanscher PJ-149 Colonial Chair in rosewood, 1949
This early pre-production version of Ole Wanscher's PJ-149 Colonial Chair is crafted from highly figured, exotic rosewood. This design embodies Wanscher's deep appreciation for the aesthetics of 18th- and 19th-century British and French Colonial furniture. Born in 1903, Wanscher was a significant figure in the Danish modern movement. His education under the influential architect Kaare Klint profoundly shaped his design philosophy, which emphasizes a harmonious blend of modernist principles and traditional craftsmanship. 
 
The cane seat is intricately woven onto the rosewood frame, a hallmark of this early edition. This construction highlights Wanscher’s meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to quality materials and techniques. In later iterations, production costs necessitated a simpler design, replacing the fixed seat with a removable rattan seat woven over a beech frame.
 
 
Dimensions: H 33 1/2" x W 25.5" x D 26 3/4"  
Seat Height: 16 1/8"
