Product Description

The Wing Chair CH445 is one of Hans J. Wegner's most celebrated works and an interesting example of his skills and design aesthetics.
The CH445 easy chair is fully upholstered and built upon a solid beech frame that rests on hand-finished stainless steel legs. It is a very sculptural piece of furniture to look at but its true beauty lies beneath the surface.
What you don't see is how the design of the backrest and the seat enables a variety of positions, always providing excellent support for the back, shoulders, neck and head. At the same time, the thin legs give the chair an ideal pitch because the front legs are slightly higher than the back legs.
Carl Hansen & Søn re-launched the Wing Chair CH445 in 2006 based on Hans J. Wegner's original 1:1 drawings.
Wing Chair CH445 is available with the CH446 Footrest.

DESCRIPTION

The CH445, also known as "the Wing Chair" is a fully upholstered easy chair on stainless steel legs.
The design of the backrest and seat enables a variety of positions always providing excellent support for the back, shoulders, neck and head.

The stainless steel legs give the chair an ideal pitch as the front legs are slightly higher than the rear legs.
The interesting wing-like design of the chair makes it a sculptural addition to both public and private spaces.

It is best placed where its elegant lines can be viewed from all sides and works equally well in groups and on its own.
It is built upon a solid beech frame, with hand-finished stainless steel legs that are virtually maintenance free.

Made from beech, stainless steel and cold foam. Upholstered in the customer's choice of fabric or leather. The footrest, CH446, fits perfectly with the Wing Chair.

THE DESIGNER

As a driving force behind 'Danish Modern', Hans J. Wegner helped change the general public's view of furniture in the 1950s and 1960s. His passion for designing chairs, more than 500 of them, is recognized worldwide and reflected in his title 'the Master of the Chair'. He is famous for integrating perfectly executed joints with exquisite shapes and combining them with a constant curiosity for materials and deep respect for wood and its natural characteristics. His designs furnish minimalism with organic and natural softness.
