The Wegner’s Armstol Cushion for Chair Model 1788 is a bespoke upholstered cushion designed to bring refined comfort and tactile warmth to one of Hans J. Wegner’s most celebrated chair designs. Artfully shaped to fit the seating area of the Model 1788 Chair, this cushion enhances daily usability while preserving the chair’s structural poise and sculptural expression.
Design Context
The Model 1788 Chair, conceived by Hans J. Wegner, represents a landmark in mid-century Danish modern seating — elegant, understated, and meticulously crafted. Wegner’s work is rooted in the Scandinavian tradition of human-centred design, where comfort is delivered through thoughtful form and material honesty rather than superfluous ornamentation.
This Armstol cushion respects that philosophy, adding comfort through precision tailoring and material refinement rather than disrupting the chair’s iconic silhouette.
Comfort & Seating Performance
This cushion enhances comfort for extended sitting while maintaining Wegner’s original ergonomic intent.
Comfort advantages include:
Enhanced seating softness
Balanced cushioning without bulk
Supportive surface for longer seating sessions
No disruption to posture or structure
Material & Surface Characteristics
Upholstered in premium fabric (or optional leather if specified), the cushion surface is chosen for its durability, subtle texture, and visual harmony with the chair’s form. The material’s refined feel adds dimensional depth without overshadowing the design’s simplicity.
Material features include:
High-quality upholstery material
Tactile surface with visual warmth
Neutral expression compatible with diverse interiors
Built for long-term performance
Fit & Proportion
Tailored specifically for the Model 1788 Chair’s seat area, this cushion offers a stable and integrated fit. Its proportions respect the chair’s original geometry, ensuring it feels like an intentional design component rather than an add-on.
