This three-leged accent chair, also called "smiling chair", was originally designed by Danish modernist Hans J. Wegner. It achieves a floating lightness due its wing-like seat and the arching curves of its tapered legs. Although it stands on three legs, it's very stable and comfortable.

  • - Padded seat and back covered by black leather
  • - Walnut venner wood frame



About Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner, (April 2, 1914 - January 26, 2007), was a successful Danish Furniture designer who contributed to the international popolarity of mid-century Danish design. His work belongs to a modernist school with emphasis on functionality. He is probably best known for his chairs. The "Peacock" chair, with a slatted back rest fanning out to evoke the bird's plume, was inspired by the traditional "Windsor" chair. His folding chair was made to be hung on the wall, and his "Shell" chair experimented with curving the wood in three dimensions to from the seat. His belief that "a chair should be beautiful from all sides and angles" is especially evident with his shell chair. He also stated that, "the chair does not exist. The good chair is a task one is never completely done with."

A Sculpture Or A Chair?

12/4/09 12:46 PM

Modern classic furniture combines classic designs and contemporary style in order to create works of art that give definition to any room. Nowhere is this more evident than in the work of Harry Bertoia, the famous Italian sculptor, university lecturer and furniture designer. Bertoia was, first and foremost, a sculptor and this served as the launching pad to many of his furniture designs. One of his most famous and era-defining works is the Diamond Chair. Created in 1952, the Diamond Chair is an intricate work of art that was included in a series of furniture that utilized bent metal rods to make practical and comfortable seating options. Bertoia’s vision was one of great genius; he successfully took a material that had not been used in furniture design (industrial metal rods) and converted it into a practical and functional seating option. The Diamond Chair has undoubtedly become one of the most replicated designs in modern classic furniture; it is one of the defining pieces of art of the 1950s and continues to be popular to this day. Thinking as a true sculptor, Bertoia said of the Diamond Chair, “If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes through them.”

Ezmod Furniture offers a high-quality reproduction of Bertoia’s classic Diamond Chair at a price that is below the list price.

The Bench is Back

9/26/09 6:54 PM

One of the newest trends in modern furniture is the return of the bench.  For a while, the bench seemed to be relegated to picnics and backyard furniture.  However, the bench has returned with a vengeance, and is making its mark on modern furniture throughout the country.

The reason for the bench’s return is its flexibility.  A bench can be used as a seat, a platform or even a table in a pinch.  With so many people living in apartments in urban areas, space is at a premium.  As a result, people need modern furniture that will fit their lifestyle, and not just clunky furniture that serves one purpose.  People need everything in their lives to adjust to different circumstances, whether it be dinner, a party, a work project or something else.

Ezmod Furniture

EzMod has a variety of benches in its modern furniture collection, all of which display a style and grace that blends perfectly with almost any setting.  For example: The Nelson Style Bench comes in black and natural; it also comes in two different lengths, four feet and five feet.  It’s a perfect example of mid-century modernism, and the design director focused on blending usability and style.

This bench can be used in your dining room as an extra chair (or three); in your living room as extra seats, an ottoman or a table; or in your bedroom for multiple uses.  This Nelson Style Bench is designed in a very sleek manner and the color scheme lends itself to almost any other items of furniture you may own.

Adaptable Modern Furniture

Modern lifestyles require furniture that goes with it, and modern lifestyles must adapt to a variety of surroundings.  People live in apartments that vary in size, have different rules about furniture and that are completely different colors.

At Ezmod Furniture, we provide countless pieces of furniture that are adaptable to any lifestyle, any room and any living situation.  If you have a large home that needs quality modern furniture, we can provide that for you.  If you live in a ten story apartment building that needs adaptable modern furniture, we have that as well.

The Nelson Style Bench is a great piece, and can be whatever you need them to be.  To learn more, go to our website, www.ezmodfurniture.com, and browse our incredible selection today!
