Carl Hansen CH56 / CH58 Bar Stool
The Carl Hansen CH56 / CH58 Bar Stool, designed by Hans J. Wegner, combines clean lines with a robust, functional construction. Designed to suit both residential and hospitality settings, the stools reflect Wegner’s ability to create practical furniture with a refined visual simplicity.
The stools feature a solid wood frame with four gently angled legs connected by a stainless-steel ring, which provides structural stability while also serving as a comfortable footrest. Characteristic of Wegner’s design approach, the legs are shaped to be thickest where strength is required, tapering elegantly towards the floor and seat.
Available in two heights, the CH56 is designed for bar-height surfaces, while the lower CH58 is suited to kitchen counters and islands.
