Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - a Classic Danish Chair Design

by Richard Guilfoyle

Individuals who studied Danish designers, or those who prefer style and grace throughout their daily routine have surely heard of Hans J. Wegner. This designer just recently passed away, only a few years short of the century mark. Throughout his life, he created hundreds of designs, but only a single rope chair. That design is the Hans J Wegner ch.

Danish furniture (danska möbler) is generally known for clean lines and simple elegance and Wegner's works are the personification of the style. The Hans J Wegner ch is an armchair with a classic profile that is easily recognized as both this model and Wegner's signature styling. It is available in many woods and is highly desirable many years after its creation because the design is timeless.

The Hans J Wegner ch is the perfect example of a well-engineered, attractive design. Because the forelegs support most of the person's weight, the chair is extremely stable and strong. The visual appeal of the chair is enhanced by the seat and back, which are constructed of woven rope in a distinctive, special pattern.

You can choose which rope best matches your floor and other furnishings. The option most commonly chosen is a slight variation from natural oak. These chairs are sufficiently light and small in stature that you can easily move them about your space, giving you virtually unlimited options. Our experience is that this design is long-lasting. Even the most costly option is a good value for the money.

Don't let the price tag of the Hans J Wegner ch scare you -- you might pay somewhere around $2,000 USD, but this chair's value goes far beyond any price you might pay. It's stylish and collectible - everything you love about wicker but much more durable. With routine care, expect this chair to grow more valuable as it ages.

This particular piece of Wegner furniture (wegner möbler) may also create in you an interest in other great, elegant, Danish styles as well. His style presents over 500 designs from which to choose, with a seemingly limitless amount of wood and color accents. All of this makes it quite likely that you will find a chair that suits your tastes. Doing an online search for Hans Wegner will give you a true appreciation for his significance in the realm of furniture design, making his only woven rope chair quite a prize.
