About The Item

The OW58 T-Chair distinctive expression challenges the art of the possible without compromising craftsmanship or comfort. The OW58 T-Chair's characteristic T-shaped backrest, which has given the chair its nickname, gives the chair a light and elegant appearance. The OW58 T-Chair is manufactured at Carl Hansen & Son's factory in Gelsted, Denmark, where skilled joiners and craftsmen ensure high process quality. The relaunched version of the OW58 T-Chair remains loyal to Ole Wanscher's original design. The only adjustment is to the height of the chair, where an extra inch has been added to provide optimum ergonomics for today's design enthusiasts who have grown taller since 1958. The craftsmanship behind the OW58 T-Chair requires careful processing and many carpentry hours - in particular, achieving smooth transitions in all the chair's joints is a time-consuming process. The chair's most striking detail is the T-shaped backrest which merges with the tightly placed back legs, giving the chair a three-legged appearance. Despite its light expression, the T-Chair has a wide, upholstered seat that provides excellent comfort.
