Did you know that Hans J. Wegner's "The Chair" was used for the world's first televised election debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon? The Round Chair, also known as The Chair, is one of Wegner's greatest works ever - especially even abroad. with the help of the election debate in 1960 and a great mention in the American design and architecture magazine, Interiors, shortly after its launch in 1949, has become a world icon in furniture as it is today.
