Wings of Desire: A Modern Classic Resurrected

October 24, 2013

Inspired by classic British club furniture, Danish designer Frits Henningsen created a modern interpretation of the wingback with his swoopy Heritage Chair. Formerly only available via high-end midcentury dealers, it’s back in production and on offer at Carl Hansen in fabric or leather.
