Originally designed in 1951, the CH28P Lounge Chair is a true design classic, straight from the pen of visionary master artisan Hans J. Wegner. The essence of the design lies in its exceptional comfort and the dynamic interplay of the chair’s various elements.
From the gentle curve of the backrest, to the rounded legs and armrests, the chair is a testament to Wegner’s genius. Still in production over 70 years later, the CH28P is hand-crafted by the talented craftspeople at Carl Hansen & Son, honouring Wegner’s legacy with their meticulous attention to detail and commitment to his work in every aspect.
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.
