CH25 | Lounge Chair | Carl Hansen | shop at Skandium London

Description

Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950 as one of the first models created especially for Carl Hansen & Son and is so popular it has been in production ever since. Casually classic, the CH25 chair derives a sense of lightness from its tapered legs and the dynamic angle of its back legs. Like so many of Wegner's other iconic designs, it is simple and clean with a distinctive shape.
It is a supremely comfortable easy chair that is equally at home beside a coffee table or standing on its own.

It caused a stir when it was introduced due to Wegner's choice of materials on the backrest and seat. The woven paper cord, developed during WWII as a replacement for seagrass had never been used on furniture before. However, Wegner was enthusiastic about the look of the material and its non-stretching and optimal durability, and so were generations after him.
It takes a skilled craftsman 10 hours and approximately 400 meters of paper cord to complete one seat and backrest by hand, using a particular technique resembling weaving, which is visible on both sides of the backrest. The striking result of this exacting process is an exceptional chair that is fascinating from all angles.
