Designed with his characteristic rigour and attention to the smallest details, Alfred Homann’s CH501 Outdoor Dining Chair is meticulously manufactured by Carl Hansen & Son’s talented artisans. Each element of the solid wood chair has been carefully considered and expertly constructed to produce a fantastically comfortable outdoor chair. The seat and backrests are gently curved, mirroring the shape of your body, allowing you to relax for hours in sumptuous luxury.
Homann’s philosophy of simplicity, clarity, and logic has been honoured throughout the design, creating a minimalist yet striking range of outdoor furnishings. The use of naturally resistant, hard-wearing teak gives the chair exceptional longevity. The surface of the wood will develop a unique patina over time, taking on a silvery hue influenced by the surrounding environment and reflecting the characteristics of your garden.
Born in 1948, Alfred Homann grew up in southern Zealand, Denmark. In 1976, he graduated as an architect from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine arts in Copenhagen. He spent several years working alongside a variety of different Danish and American architects, developing his own style, rooted in simplicity, clarity and logic. His keen eye, precision, and rigorous thoroughness can be seen in his wide range of architectural projects, along with an array of furniture and lighting designs.
In addition to establishing studios in both Copenhagen and the United States, Homann aslo spent time travelling the world, lecturing and giving presentations. Over the course of his career he received multiple international awards and accolades for his body of work, including the Red Dot award, the IF Product Design-Award, and a Brunel Award.
