Wegner, Arne Jacobsen, Kaare Klint, Poul Kjærholm, Vilhelm Lauritzen and others. Now in its third generation as a family run business, Carl Hansen & Son maintains its legacy through skillful work with the highest quality materials, sustainably producing Danish design classics by past icons and influential new designers.Originally designed in 1956 by legendary creator Hans J. Wegner, the 'CH20' stackable chair was set aside for 50 years before CHS first produced this award-winning modern classic in 2005. Featuring a distinct steam-bent backrest, crafted from a single piece of solid wood, the 'CH20' affords elbow and lower back support from a variety of seated positions while simultaneously creating a floating expression courtesy of the chair's unique rail construction beneath the seat.
