Hans J. Wegner 'CH20' elbow chair in wood for Carl Hansen & Son
The story of Danish Modern begins in 1908 when Carl Hansen opened his first workshop. His firm commitment to beauty, comfort, refinement, and craftsmanship is evident in iconic pieces designed by such legends as Hans J. Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Kaare Klint, Poul Kjærholm, Vilhelm Lauritzen and others. Now in its third generation as a family run business, Carl Hansen & Son maintains its legacy through skillful work with the highest quality materials, sustainably producing Danish design classics by past icons and influential new designers.
Originally designed in 1956 by legendary creator Hans J. Wegner, the 'CH20' stackable chair was set aside for 50 years before CHS first produced this award-winning modern classic in 2005. Featuring a distinct steam-bent backrest, crafted from a single piece of solid wood, the 'CH20' affords elbow and lower back support from a variety of seated positions while simultaneously creating a floating expression courtesy of the chair's unique rail construction beneath the seat. The completed design highlights the core of Wegner's legacy, showcasing the inner soul of furniture pieces through a simple and functional exterior. Executed in FSC certified wood, natural grain leather or fabric and choice of finish.
