The CH24 Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner, is a testament to iconic Danish Design. The beautiful expression of wood and exquisitely simple finish create a sculptural piece that embodies high levels of comfort and adaptability. The new celebratory versions have been split into two colour palletes, firstly the 'Russet Hues' collection, consisting of Russet Red, Rosy Blush and Deep Burgundy; warm tones that beautifully complement both traditional and modern architecture. Secondly, the 'Harmony' collection, consisting of Oyster Grey, Forest Green and Deep Olive, representative of the organic and natural, working in perfect harmony like nature's own landscapes.
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.
