Carl Hansen VLA26T Dining Chair
The VLA26T Vega Dining Chair, designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen for Carl Hansen & Søn, is a refined example of Danish functionalist design. Originally created in the 1950s for the Vega concert hall in Copenhagen, the chair reflects Lauritzen’s architectural approach — combining clarity of form with practical, durable materials.
This version features a slender metal frame paired with a shaped wooden seat and backrest, creating a balanced contrast between industrial structure and natural material warmth. The gently curved wooden back provides supportive seating while maintaining a clean and understated profile.
With its architectural heritage and considered proportions, the VLA26T Vega Dining Chair works well in dining rooms, meeting spaces and hospitality environments where durability and minimal design are equally important.
