Carl Hansen CH88P Chair
The CH88P Dining Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner, combines industrial clarity with the warmth of upholstered seating. Originally created in 1955 for the Helsingborg Exhibition in Sweden, the design was later brought into production by Carl Hansen & Søn, introducing Wegner’s balanced material approach to contemporary interiors.
The chair features a slim steel frame paired with an upholstered seat and backrest, offering a more cushioned seating experience while maintaining the light visual profile of the CH88 series. The curved backrest supports the upper body comfortably, making the chair suitable for longer periods around dining tables or meeting spaces.
With its mix of steel structure and tailored upholstery, the CH88P bridges modern materials and classic Danish design, making it suitable for residential dining rooms, offices and hospitality environments.
