Prince chair, HAY

Pre-loved

€700.00

Some chairs are built to fill a room; The Prince chair was built to tell a story. 

Born from a 2001 design competition to create a seat fit for HRH Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. This masterpiece is a poetic meditation on the life of modern royalty. It captures the delicate balance between centuries of rigid tradition and the transparent, vulnerable life of a prince in the public eye. 

At first glance, the chair appears as light as paper cutting - an intentional nod to the whimsical silhouette of Hans Cristian Andersen. But look closer and you'll discover a feat of high tech engineering.

While it famously didn't win the competition, it won the world - now it is a part of permanent collections of MoMa NY and Center Pompidou.

TRAVELLING IN TIME IS MORE THAN REAL. Owning a vintage piece can connect us to a different era and give us a glimpse into the past.
