Exhibiting iconic Danish mid-century aesthetics, the CH22 Lounge Chair is a timeless classic, artfully transforming your living areas with its inherent sense of space. Ilse Crawford’s expert touch has refined and reinterpreted the design, using a carefully curated colour palette to elevate the piece. The rich, painterly colours accentuate the chair’s timeless forms, inspired by the work of seminal Danish expressionist painter Per Kirkeby, while the semi-translucent lacquer highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain, further enhancing the chair’s character.

With his love of natural materials and his deep understanding of the need for furniture to be functional as well as beautiful, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) made mid-century Danish design popular on an international scale. He began his career as a cabinetmaker in 1931 and subsequently entered the Copenhagen School of Arts & Crafts. After receiving his architectural degree in 1938, he worked as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Muller's architectural office before establishing his own office in 1943.
