Hans J. Wegner Three Legged CH07 Shell Chair
Hans J. Wegner’s three-legged shell CH07 chair was originally introduced in 1963. A few limited series were produced, but the project soon came to a stand still.
The 90s brought a growing interest in chairs of more individual designs. The chair was relaunched in 1997 and fortunately the new manufactureer had been able to keep down the costs. These two factors in combination resulted in an increasing market, and after 34 years oblivion the chair finally got is breakthrough. As a curiosity it is worth mentioning that one of the original shell chairs from the 60s was sold at 104.000 Danish Kroner at Christies in London in 1999.
The chair is made of solid oiled walnut, upholstered in glove/alcantara.

This must be a good seating one, albeit the wings make it a bit wide for a small room.

Saw Buck Chair by Hans Wegner
The Classic Saw Buck Chair or CH28 Chair by Hans Wegner. By own experience I know it sits unsurpassable. The only little problem it has that you can’t easily stand up from it.
CH445 Wingchair by Hans Wegner
In 1960 Wegner released his soon to be famous CH445 Wingchair in limited quantities. In 2006 Carl Hansen & Sons dusted off the blue prints and reintroduced the lounge chair to immediate success and awards at the IMM in Cologne, and the Copenhagen International Furniture Fair that same year. Today the wingchair is what Hans Wegner envisioned it to be and then some reaching true furniture icon status and a place in the homes and hearts of modern furniture lovers world wide. According to Carl Hansen & Sons we have worked with Wegners original drawings and some of the few pieces that remain from the sixties, when a smaller number of them were produced by hand. And we’re proud to say that we have upheld the original construction and materials – including solid beech frames and hand-sewn piping – just the way that Wegner designed it. If you want furniture that will last in not only quality of construction, but style as well, the licensed modern classics are the way to go.
