Description
Wegner came up with the idea of the Valet Chair in 1951, following a long talk with Professor of Architecture Steen Eiler Rasmussen and designer Kay Bojesen about the problems of folding clothes in the most practical manner when it was time for bed. But the process of completing the design was not initiated before the Danish King Frederik IX ordered one after seeing the first four-legged version. Wegner was dissatisfied with the four-legged version and continued working on the design for two years, before the king received his chair. By then the three-legged version had been created and made for the king in pine and teak seat. The bck works as a hanger for a jacket. The seat is hinged and can be placed in an upright position for trouser and underneath the seat a box is revealed for keys, wallet etc
