CH37 Chair | Hans Wegner | Carl Hansen & Søn

The CH37 dining chair from 1962, designed by Hans J. Wegner, is clearly inspired by the American Shaker furniture principles of simplicity, functionality and craftsmanship. The chair also displays many carefully considered details characteristic of Wegner’s style.

The CH37 chair’s light, elegant appearance is created by the vertical round legs and a backrest which arches backwards – slightly more in the top than in the bottom – in order to achieve the best possible back support.

The hand-woven papercord seat and the gently rounded and flat armrests – fixed to the front legs with a distinctive cap – provide both comfort and sturdiness. An optional leather cushion is available, for further comfort.

The fascinating design of the CH37 dining chair offers a light and yet sturdy expression to comfortably seat many generations. The chair is also available without armrests, as model number CH36.
