Among all furniture designers Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is considered one of the most creative innovative and prolific especially amongst his Scandinavian counterparts. Wegner was part of the spectacular generation that created what is today referred to as the Golden Age of modern Danish design. Wegner began his apprenticeship with Danish master cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg when he was just 14 years old. Later on he moved to Copenhagen and attended the School of Arts and Crafts from 1936 to 1938 before setting out as a furniture designer.
The core of Wegners legacy is his focus on showing the inner soul of furniture pieces through a simple and functional exterior. Wegners background as a cabinetmaker gave him a deep understanding of how to integrate exacting joinery techniques with exquisite form. His aesthetic was also based on a deep respect for wood and its characteristics and a vast curiosity about other natural materials that enabled him to bring an organic natural softness to formalistic minimalism which are on full display in this truly iconic CH 25 chair.
Carl Hansen opened his furniture workshop in Odense Denmark in 1908 and soon became renowned for the exceptional quality of his work. In it's early days the company produced bespoke furniture including everything from dining room sets to bedroom suites. As the company grew and times changed however it gradually began to produce smaller series of its most popular pieces. This combination of craftsmanship and rational series production soon became the firms hallmark and continues to set it apart to this very day.
With it's fresh hand-sewn leather upholstery restored solid oak frame and new straps and batting this paradigmatic Model CH 25 chair is ready for a literal lifetime more of use.
