The Pegasus chair is one of the most representative creations of Danish designer Arne Vodder, a leading figure of the so-called Golden Age of Scandinavian design. Conceived in the 1960s for the Danish firm Kircodan. The 1960s was a time of splendor for Danish design, marked by a transition from the rationalist principles of modernism to solutions that also favored warmth and comfort.
Architect and industrial designer, Arne Vodder is today among the Scandinavian mid-century designers who have most influenced subsequent generations. He trained with the famous designer Finn Juhl, and began his career creating furniture pieces for Fritz Hansen, France & Son and Sibast. For the latter firm he created an extensive line of furniture that earned him worldwide recognition and success. His beautiful designs are exquisite in their detail and sober in their expression, and almost without exception are constructed in natural materials.
