Carl Hansen CH88T Chair
The CH88T Dining Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner, combines clean industrial lines with the warmth of natural wood. Originally created in 1955 for the Helsingborg Exhibition in Sweden, the design was later introduced into production by Carl Hansen & Søn, bringing Wegner’s understated concept into contemporary interiors.
The chair pairs a slender steel frame with a shaped wooden seat and backrest, creating a balanced design that feels both light and durable. Its curved backrest provides comfortable support while maintaining a compact profile around dining tables.
The CH88T works particularly well in dining rooms, meeting spaces and hospitality settings where a refined but practical chair is required. With its combination of metal structure and timber surfaces, the chair bridges classic Danish design with a modern aesthetic.
