Description
Hans J. Wegner´s CH46 chair is simple, functional and at the same time elegant. This armchair is a good example of how the designer often used the same idea in furniture with different functions, inspired by the simple chairs of Southern Europe and the American Shaker movement. Careful coordination of proportions ensured that each chair was optimally suited for the human body focusing on ergonomics which was an essential consideration for Wegner's designs. It is comfortable and suitable for the dining room, conference rooms and waiting rooms.
The chair seat is woven from paper cord and the two backrest bars are laminated from 3 different thicknesses of wood which are then curved into a soft but tense bow shape. The legs and armrests have a slightly arched surface.
When Carl Hansen & Søn started working on CH46 in 1966, Wegner also gave them the drawing for a chair without armrests, the CH47.
Hans J. Wegner
Often referred to as the master of the chair, he has created almost 500 chairs in his lifetime, many of them considered masterpieces. He is considered one of the most creative among Danish furniture designers.
