Contemporary armchair CH445

leatherby Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner’s CH445 Wing Chair embodies many of the talented designer’s skills and aesthetics, with expert craftsmanship noticeable at a glance and enjoyed further on closer inspection. Complex design and supreme comfort The CH445 Wing Chair was built by Hans J. Wegner as a fully upholstered easy chair on a solid beech frame that rests on hand-finished stainless steel legs. The composition showcases his excellent understanding of material and structural dynamics and presents a dramatic, sculptural shape with instant visual appeal. The true beauty of this sophisticated work, however, lies beneath the surface. Hidden out of view is a seat and backrest design that allows for a variety of positions, always providing superb support for the back, shoulders, neck and head. The thin legs, slightly higher in front than in the back, give the chair an ideal pitch. Designed in 1960, the Wing Chair was originally produced in very limited numbers, and relaunched in 2006 based on Wegner’s original design. The CH445 Wing Chair is available with the matching CH446 footstool for added comfort.
