Louisiana Chair

Description

Simple, stackable and beautifully unadorned, Vilhelm Wohlert’s iconic 1958 chair was originally created for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. (Incidentally, the museum takes its name from the mansion it occupies and named for its former owner’s 3 wives, all called “Louisa.”) Stellar Works’ Wohlert collection revisits some of the master’s most celebrated designs and his less-is-more ethos, rendered with unvarying fine craftsmanship.

Brand

Stellar Works

Craftsmanship is at the heart of Stellar Works since a couple of design enthusiasts from France and Japan launched the line in 2013. Operations benefit from Japanese management, while the craftsmanship draws on premium European furniture practices and technical proficiency that comes with the brand’s own state-of-the-art factory in Shanghai, China.

Because Stellar Works controls end to end, it takes great pride in abiding to Japan’s Four-Star standards—the most stringent in the industry worldwide—offering transparency regarding the sourcing of every material, be it leather, metal or fabric, along with ensuring that all woods come from FSC-certified forests.

The line’s urbane sense of materials, colorways and forms is a reflection of a global roster that includes New York designer-architect David Rockwell, Toronto’s Yabu Pushelberg, Copenhagen’s Space Copenhagen and Monaco-based Humbert & Poyet—along with an exacting Asian lens by appointing Chinese duo Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu—widely known as Neri&Hu—as creative directors for the brand.
