The inspired padded Ox-chair designed in ***0, is covered with
Italian leather and as strong and distinctive as a bull; raised off
the floor by light yet strong legs in highly polished stainless
steel. Among the jobs it does, and one that lies close to Wegner's
heart, is to make it possible to sit comfortably in many different
ways so that one can change position continuously. Only then can
one sit really comfortably. The majority of Wegner's chairs are
related to nature being designed of wood. The inspired Ox-chair,
with its use of leather and steel, is in contrast to this. The
chair does contain a wooden frame, but this is covered by the
leather. Instead the Ox-chair follows the conditions of the
materials in another way. Wegner is inspired by the leather in the
shape of an abstract bull - a powerful yet comfortable chair.
Wegner is using nature indirectly to create a new shape.
