The Nishi gallery is holding an exhibition of furniture by Danish designer Hans Wegner. The best known chair is the Wishbone chair and the inspiration for the design came from the Chinese horseshoe back armchair. Wegner designed furniture is made by a Danish manufacturer Carl Hansen and Son but beware of cheap imitations. This exhibition, sponsored by designcraft, also has some pieces made by local Canberra cabinetmakers and runs until Friday 19 September. For me, what the exhibition demonstrates is that good design is timeless and universally appealing. I had a great chat with the designcraft staff and look forward to catching up with them soon. (The image of the Chinese chair is from our collection and not part of the exhibition.)
