1960s
Oak & rattan. This set of eight ‘CH31’ chairs, designed by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn in the 1960s, reflects the thoughtful craftsmanship and design principles that defined Wegner’s career. Known as the "Master of the Chair," Wegner created over 500 chair designs, each focused on simplicity, functionality, and showcasing the inherent beauty of the materials.
Born in Tønder, Denmark, in 1914, Wegner’s background as a cabinetmaker gave him a deep understanding of wood’s properties. This expertise allowed him to combine intricate joinery techniques with clean, functional forms, resulting in designs that are both practical and timeless.
The CH31 chairs demonstrate Wegner’s ability to harmonize natural materials with a human-centered approach to design, making them versatile additions to a variety of interiors. Their enduring appeal lies in the balance of form, comfort, and quality that Wegner so carefully achieved.
