Stellar Works is reissuing the C140 in its original caned back version,
which has an upholstered back. The chairs come in a choice of oak
or walnut. For the upholstery, Stellar Works have selected Hallingdal
65 from Kvadrat, designed by mid-century Danish designer iconic
Nanna Ditzel, in a choice of 457 (yellow), 547 (orange) 850 (blue).
The Iconic C140 chair was used in the White House under
President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration and Johnson
was photographed sitting in it signing the Civil Rights Act in
1964 and the Highway. Beautification Act in 1965.
Stellar Works is continuously adding new important pieces to its
existing collection of Jens Risom designs. Originating from his mid-
century heydays, the six new models are prime examples of Risom´s
aesthetics and proof of the enduring quality of his timeless work.
