In production for over 70 years, the CH28T Lounge Chair has all the hallmarks of a classic. From the gentle curve of the backrest to the perfectly proportioned armrests and dramatically sloping legs, the chair has been imbued with an understated elegance by visionary designer Hans J. Wegner. The chair’s relaxed expressions make it incredibly inviting, an effect enhanced by the rich tactility of the solid wood frame. Sculpturally beautiful and effortlessly functional, the chair is a striking centrepiece suitable for any contemporary living space.
With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931 and subsequently entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938, he worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Muller's architectural office before establishing his own office in 1943.
