For 58 years, Danish designer Hans Wegner conceived memorable, comfortable, stunning furniture for Carl Hansen & Søn, the same company that continues to produce his authentic works today. Known as the “chair-maker of chair-makers,” Wegner was a prolific designer with a unique ability to bring an elegant lightness to sturdy, long-lasting chairs that remains unmatched. After creating two prototypes of his stackable CH20 Elbow Chair (1956), he set the design aside in his archives, where it remained for nearly half a century until Carl Hansen & Søn decided to put it into production for the first time in 2005. Later that year, it quickly established itself as a modern classic, winning the ICFF Editors’ Award. This is the authentic CH20 Elbow Chair from Carl Hansen & Søn. Made in Denmark.
