To mark the 100th anniversary of Hans J. Wegner's birth, Carl Hansen & Søn is launching Wegner's CH88 chair - a 1955 design that has, to date, existed only as a prototype.

The CH88 is versatile both in terms of its appearance and usability thanks to its numerous finish, frame, and room placement options. Characteristically, the upper structure features a steam-bent wooden backrest for back support, with slight curvatures of the backrest's ends providing a natural resting place for the arms.

The steel frame, with straight back legs, supports an oval-shaped wooden seat. This blend of materials, combined with a minimalist design, results in a light, organic, industrial expression. And the new, stackable design offers a valuable benefit.

The CH88 is available in beech, oak and smoked oak in a range of finishes. The frame is available in stainless steel, chrome and powder coating in various colors, and the seat with optional leather or textile upholstery.
