Hans J. Wegner
CH53 FOOTSTOOL
From the beginning of his career, Hans J. Wegner was fascinated
by designing rocking chairs, and, as always, he took a methodical
approach to his design, with his main focus being the function. As a
result, the CH45 Rocking Chair from 1965 is perfectly proportioned,
so one can sit relaxed and rock easily but rise effortlessly from the
chair. The reclining backrest adds a dynamic expression to the overall
composition, and the kinship with the other furniture in the series is
evident in the shaped bars, the envelope-patterned seat of paper cord
and the uniquely curved armrests, which are elevated at the rear. These
design elements are classically Wegner, as the elevation allows for a
solid joint.
Hans J. Wegner created the CH53 Footstool in 1965, and it clearly demonstrates his passion for both
craftsmanship and everyday functionality. With a solid wood frame and a hand woven paper cord seat,
the footstool’s construction allows for complete rest and perfect functionality.
