The CH22 was the first model in Wegner’s debut collection created exclusively
for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1950 – a series that also included such iconic designs as
the Wishbone Chair and the CH25 lounge chair.
CH22
An early design that displays Wegner’s natural flair for honest craftsmanship
and passion for subtle intricacies in materials and techniques.
After several decades, Carl Hansen & Søn brought the
intricately detailed CH22 back into production in 2016,
manufacturing the design to Wegner’s exacting original
specifications.
The lounge chair features Wegner’s characteristically
shaped armrests, an envelope-woven paper cord seat, and
a distinctive back shell in form-pressed veneer with striking
oblong cover caps. The chair’s refined joinery is evident in
the finger-joined corners of the seat frame, with the
forelegs locking into wooden wedges in a color contrasting
that of the frame.
Today, while parts of the production process have been
modernized, the CH22 is still manufactured as it was when
Wegner oversaw initial production at the Hansen family
facilities in 1950: with expert hand craftsmanship from
assembly through to surface treatment and seat weaving.
