Story
A loyal relaunch
Carl Hansen & Søn relaunched the T-Chair in a loyal tribute to Wanscher's original design, changing only its height so that it suits people who have grown taller since 1958.
A three-legged appearance
The page calls the T-shaped backrest, which merges with the tightly placed back legs, the chair's most striking detail and says it gives the chair a three-legged appearance.
