About the Item

Paul Salomonsen (active 1960s) Y Chair (1964) Lithographic poster (2014) 99 x 61 cm The poster features Hans J Wegner's famous 'Y chair', also known as the 'Wishbone chair'. Carl Hansen Søn commissioned the poster from a photograph by Salomonsen, a 1960s photographer. The stylish and typically Danish woman examining the chair marks it as a piece of typically Danish design. The chair was known as "The Chair" when it was used in the TV-transmitted debate between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1959. The Chair subsequently became an icon of Danish mid-century furniture design. Condition: Excellent.
