Designed to create a welcoming atmosphere, the Carl Hansen & Son CH56 bar stool expertly blends form and function to create a sophisticated yet robust seating solution, perfect for kitchen and dining spaces. The legs are slightly angled, with gracefully tapering legs fixed to a stainless steel ring that acts as a footrest.
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.
