ELBOW CHAIR
Hans J. Wegner designed the stackable Elbow Chair in 1956. After producing a single
prototype, he set the intricate, production-intensive design aside in his archives,
where it remained for nearly half a century.
Frozen in time for almost half a century, this classic design
proudly greets the light of day, for work or relaxation.
When Carl Hansen & Søn put the Elbow Chair into
production for the first time in 2005, the design quickly
established its place in the modern world, winning the
ICFF Editors’ Award in New York the same year.
The Elbow Chair’s characteristic steam-bent backrest,
crafted from a single piece of solid wood, provides arm and
lower back support and enables a variety of seating positions.
The shape of the backrest is mirrored in the uniquely
constructed upholstered seat, which is crafted from curved,
compression-molded veneer and appears to float above
the legs.
The exceptionally stable, easily stackable chair offers hours
of seating comfort, making it an equally appealing choice for
dining and working.
