Wegner’s most representative piece, the "Circle Hoop" or “Round chair” was originally designed in 1949. It gained a footnote in political history when it was used on the TV stage of the first Kennedy-Nixon debate of 1960. The hoop chair is one of Wegner’s more bravura designs, contributing a quietly sculptural presence to a room. Wegner was a designer who revered his primary material — wood — and it shows.
With its distinctive, contoured design and use of natural materials, the Hoop Chair delivers contemporary style in one of the most creative modern chair icons of mid-century modernism. The Circle Hoop lounge chair is defined by its unique seat created from around solid hardwood frame and body-cradling naval rope seating.
Surprising comfort is derived from a generous, concave cushion which is placed over the seat. A small pillow supports the head. The rest of the frame is also quality-crafted from solid wood achieving a durable organic appeal. The Hoop chair features wheels on its back legs and is available in your choice of wood species and Upholstery color combinations. The Hans Wegner Hoop Chair contributes to real-world functionality, architecture, modernism and rich history to its surroundings no matter which room it ends up in tomorrow.

ABOUT AMERICAN WALNUT
The American Walnut species is widely admired for its exceptional color tone and graining. While there are many stains which attempt to mimic the "walnut color" the actual American Walnut species achieves its brown tone without the use of stains. The natural wood presents lighter and darker tones within the various grains, something not achievable with a topical stain. American Walnut in its natural state is a premium choice for wood species and used often in modernist upscale furniture pieces. American Walnut is capable of coordinating well with other wood species both light and dark.
