CH22 Lounge Chair
CH22 lounge chair by Hans J Wegner for Carl Hansen & Son.
Designed in 1950, the CH22 was the first chair in the exclusive collection that Hans Wegner designed for Carl Hansen and Son. It appeared alongside such design classics as the CH24 (popularly known as the Wishbone chair) and the CH25 lounge chair.
Now reissued by Carl Hansen, the elegant lines and subtle organic curvature of this deceptively simple chair eloquently express Wegner's mastery of design and construction in wood.
The reissued CH22 is manufactured to Wenger's original specifications, with solid wood construction and handwoven paper cord seat. The backrest is made from form-pressed wood veneer, with distinctive oblong cover caps concealing the join between the chair back and the frame. The corners of the seat frame are precisely finger-jointed and the paper cord seat is envelope woven.
The wedge in the front legs is featured in a contrasting wood to that of the mainframe. The cover cap in the backrest may be selected in either oak or walnut to blend in with the backrest or stand in clear contrast as a design detail that emphasises the construction method.
