The Carl Hansen OW149 Colonial Chair is designer Ole Wanscher's most recognizable piece, and proves that fine craftsmanship never goes out of style. Designed by Wanscher in 1949, OW149 is inspired by 17th century English furniture. The solid wood frame is slim and curvy, which belies the chair's strength and stability. The distinctive arms curve upward to an elegant point and then straight down to join the rest of the frame.
