The TAOO1P Dream Chair by Carl Hansen & Søn is a true collector's gem: it is in fact the only seat designed by Tadao Ando, one of the most famous Japanese star architects of the twentieth century. Ando conceived his Dream Chair as a tribute to the work of Hans J. Wegner, his constant source of inspiration for the elegant minimalism of all his works. Sculptural and scenographic, the Dream Chair bases its shapes on molded plywood shells, one curved with a cantilever base function and the other shaped to accommodate the human body as a seat and backrest. These shapes are then enriched by three symmetrical ovals: a comfortable protruding headrest, a hole at the seat and a second hole at the bottom of the base. The Dream Chair armchair is available both in an entirely wooden version, which enhances its curves and shapes, and in a more comfortable and luxurious version with the inside of the shell covered in leather or fabric.

Carl Hansen & Søn was founded in 1908 on the Danish island of Funen, under the aegis of the eponymous cabinetmaker Carl Hansen. Since its foundation, the small cabinetmaking workshop has experienced rapid success due to the high quality craftsmanship of its furniture as well as the foresight of its founder, responsible for the establishment of many fruitful collaborations with world-renowned designers.The growth of Carl Hansen & Son was deeply influenced by the long-term collaboration with one of the greatest designers of all time: Hans J. Wegner. This creative synergy began in 1949, when Holger Hansen, son of Carl Hansen, attempted the fate with the unknown designer. From that moment,Wegner designed a series of successful furniture, including the now iconic Wishbone Chair.Read more
Designed by
Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando (1941-) is one of the major contemporary Japanese architects, famous worldwide for his minimalist poetics which manages to unite the Japanese architectural tradition with the stylistic features of Western modernism in a very personal way, giving life to ascetic and contemplative buildings. Self-taught, he drew inspiration in particular from the works of Le Corbusier and Louis Khan and made himself known in the 1970s thanks to the hermetic project of Casa Azuma, built in exposed reinforced concrete like many of his best-known works by he. His most famous project is the Church of Light in Osaka, an abstract space made up of a bare concrete cube in which the only source of light is a cross-shaped cut in the wall. Ando achieved international fame in 1992 with his project for the Japanese pavilion at the Seville Expo and since then he has also carried out numerous projects in the West, including the Fabrica research center created for Benetton, the Armani Theater in Milan or the Conference Pavilion commissioned by Vitra for the Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, the first building designed by Ando outside Japan. Among the numerous awards received during his career, the Pritzker Prize (1995) and the Imperial Prize (1996) are worth mentioning. Tadao Ando's unique experience with furniture design dates back to a special collaboration with the company Carl Hansen & Søn.
