Who Did It Better?
-
Borrowing an idea from the supermarket tabloids: On the left is a chair by the Danish designer Nanna Ditzel, done in 1955. On the right, The Chair by the Danish designer Hans Wegner, from 1949. Who did it better?
Enjoy!

Kind of like asking if you like your eggs scrambled or sunny side up.
Both are cool chairs but I personally like Hans Wegner designs

I'm with you, Tuna. To my eye, the parts of the Wegner chair are better proportioned. The legs on the Ditzel chair are a bit too chunky, I think. Also, the back/armrests on the Wegner chair reflect a higher level of craft--it's three pieces connected with long finger joints and shaped almost like an airplane propellor. The Ditzel chair, not so much.
