The CH22 Lounge Chair is still manufactured using
the same principles of craftsmanship as when Wegner
participated in manufacturing the first edition. In the
meantime, modernisation has improved precision so that
the front legs, which were originally manufactured round,
can now have the same profile as the back legs of the
chair – exactly like Wegner had originally drawn them on
his technical drawing from 1950.
On the occasion of Hans J. Wegner’s 110-year anniversary in 2024, we
celebrate the enterprising designer by paying tribute to his legacy and
impressive contributions to the world of design. Wegner’s visionary design
approach has shaped the Carl Hansen & Søn philosophy for over 65 years.
Today, Carl Hansen & Søn continues to work closely with the Hans J. Wegner
Studio and is the world’s largest producer of Wegner’s furniture, which is
manufactured in Denmark.
In the pages that follow, you can learn about the iconic chair series
‘The First Masterpieces’ and how the creative partnership between Wegner
and Carl Hansen & Søn started.
