Originally conceived by Wegner in 1960 and later brought into production by Carl Hansen, the Oculus is celebrated for its sculptural silhouette, organic curves, and extraordinary comfort—an exceptional example of Danish modern design at its most refined.

This example features elegant neutral upholstery that beautifully complements the chair’s sweeping architectural form, allowing the dramatic winged profile and embracing high back to take center stage. The softly flared arms, floating seat cushion, and slender brushed steel legs create a sophisticated balance between visual lightness and enveloping comfort.

Equally suited to a curated living room, office, or reading corner, the Oculus remains one of Wegner’s most sought-after lounge chair designs—functional sculpture from one of the 20th century’s most important furniture designers.

Authenticated with original Carl Hansen & Søn manufacturer’s label.
