Wegner for Fritz Hansen in teak","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Hans J. Wegner in 1952 and produced by Fritz Hansen in Denmark, the Heart Dining Set remains one of the most celebrated achievements of Scandinavian modern design. Composed of the FH4602 dining table and six FH4103 Heart chairs, the set demonstrates Wegner’s exceptional ability to resolve engineering, ergonomics, and sculptural form into a remarkably compact and elegant composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true sophistication of the Heart Set reveals itself when viewed as a complete system rather than individual objects. This complete set includes six FH4103 Heart chairs arranged around the original FH4602 dining table. Designed as a unified composition, the circular 120 cm table accommodates six people within an exceptionally compact footprint while maintaining generous comfort and circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWegner achieved this through one of his most inventive structural solutions: the elimination of the traditional fourth chair leg. The resulting three-legged chair introduces a subtly triangular seat profile, while the curved laminated backrest creates the stylized heart-shaped silhouette that gave the series its name. More importantly, the geometry allows all six chairs to nest precisely beneath the table without visual or physical conflict, transforming the closed arrangement into a continuous sculptural composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design reflects broader postwar Danish priorities, where growing urban density encouraged furniture that could maximize utility without compromising elegance. Rather than treating compact living as a limitation, Wegner transformed efficiency into an opportunity for refinement and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExecuted in teak, the set displays the warmth, depth, and natural variation that define the best examples of Danish cabinetmaking. The combination of sculptural timber forms, engineered proportions, and extraordinary usability has established the Heart Set as one of the most iconic dining ensembles ever produced by Fritz Hansen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set remains in excellent vintage condition. The surfaces are clean and well preserved throughout, with strong grain definition and beautifully maintained proportions. All chairs sit properly and the table remains solid and stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn iconic example of Danish modern design, where engineering precision, spatial intelligence, and sculptural restraint are resolved into a timeless dining experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTable Diameter: 47.25” (120 cm)\u003cbr\u003eTable Height: 28” (71 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChair Width: 21.5” (54.5 cm)\u003cbr\u003eChair Depth: 18.5” (47 cm)\u003cbr\u003eChair Height: 29” (74 cm)\u003cbr\u003eSeat Height: 17.3” (44 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorldwide shipping available.
