When Hans J. Wegner designed this sofa in 1965, he merged new ideas for
comfort with his signature emphasis on making the structural elements visible
– to impeccable results.
CH162 / CH163
This classic design with strong lines and visible construction
offers plenty of natural support and luxurious comfort.
Carl Hansen & Søn discovered the design in Wegner’s vast
archives – and relaunched it in 2013.
Wegner’s unparalleled attention to detail is visible throughout,
as is his ability to transform functionally necessary elements
into unique, essential aspects of the design.
The sofa is built upon a solid wood frame, its vertical and
horizontal lines softened by upholstered cushions.
Using down in sofas – a brand new idea at the time –
enabled Wegner to infuse exceptional comfort into a fairly
geometric form.
The enlarged wooden plugs in the armrests artfully conceal
screws that simplify reupholstering, while bringing attention
to the elegant frame construction. The sofa is available as
the two-seater CH162 and three-seater CH163.
