Carl Hansen CH25 Lounge Chair
The CH25 Lounge Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950, is one of the earliest and most enduring pieces produced by Carl Hansen & Søn. It reflects Wegner’s ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with a clear, functional approach to comfort.
The chair features a solid wood frame paired with a hand-woven paper cord seat and backrest, creating a relaxed lounge chair with a distinctive visual identity. The angled frame and wide seat provide a comfortable, reclined sitting position suited to extended periods of use.
Each chair is carefully crafted, with the paper cord seat woven by hand using a technique that takes several hours to complete. The result is a durable and breathable surface that complements the natural warmth of the timber frame.
The CH25 remains a defining example of Danish modern design and works well in living spaces, lounge areas and design-led interiors.
