The "Sawbuck chair" was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1952 named after and inspired by the sawbucks you could find in Wegner´s and other cabinetmakers workshops at the time and were manufactored by Carl Hansen & Søn.

This set of chairs have been fully restored by our cabinetmaker, frames sanded and ebonized and seats replaced with new Sawbuck seats in natural soft leather from Carl Hansen & Søn.
