CH23
First introduced in 1950, the CH23 dining chair features clean, organic contours
and refined styling, demonstrating young Hans J. Wegner’s unique design approach
and insightful craftsmanship.
The reassuring feel of natural materials and the loving touch of expert hands
are evident in this chair. A closer look reveals many crafted details.
Although it may appear uncomplicated at first glance,
the CH23 incorporates many fine, sophisticated details,
among them the elegant cruciform cover caps in the
backrest, a double-woven seat, and arched rear legs that
ensure optimal stability.
The CH23 was one of the first chairs Wegner designed
exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1950, alongside
the CH22 lounge chair, the CH24 Wishbone Chair, the
CH25 lounge chair, and the CH26 chair. The pieces were not
only unique, but also set new standards for modern furniture
design with their artistic expression and ergonomic form.
Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the CH23 in 2017, once
again making the first masterpieces part of its collection.
As always, the design remains true to Wegner’s original,
hand-drawn sketches, with all aesthetic and structural
components intact.
