Produced with rigorous adherence to Alfred Homann’s guiding principles of simplicity, clarity, and logic, the AH502 Outdoor Dining Armchair features soft shapes and striking natural tactility. Each part of the chair is lovingly carved and assembled by the talented artisans at Carl Hansen & Son, lavished with the brand’s characteristic attention to detail and expert understanding of natural materials. The surfaces are lovingly polished to create a soft surface, each curve lovingly honed to mirror the shape of the human form.
The use of solid teak gives the chair exceptional longevity, as the wood is naturally resistant to the elements. Over time, it will acquire a beautiful silver patina, taking on the characteristics of its surroundings and becoming a unique and enduring part of your outdoor spaces for years to come.
