Story
A tribute to Wegner
The page says Ando created the Dream Chair as a tribute to Hans J. Wegner and wanted to make minimalist, beautiful furniture by pushing the limits of materials, craft and design.
Between art and function
The page adds that the chair is crafted to be appealing from any angle and that it completely blurs the boundary between art and functionality.
