Hans J. Wegner’s elegant and versatile CH88P dining chair expresses his playful approach to working with natural materials and unique forms.
Among Danish furniture designers, Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative, innovative and prolific. Often referred to as the master of the chair, Wegner created almost 500 chairs in his lifetime – many of them considered masterpieces. He is probably best known for his iconic Wishbone Chair which has been in continuous production since 1950. The core of Wegner’s legacy is his focus on showing the inner soul of furniture pieces through a simple and functional exterior.
Considered design with a personal expression
The CH88P Dining Chair is an example of Hans J. Wegner’s exploration of materials. The elegant combination of upholstery, wood and steel shows Wegner’s ability to make minimalist forms appear soft and comfortable. Wegner originally developed the CH88P as a prototype with coloured legs for the international Helsingborg Exhibition of 1955 in Sweden. In 2014, the chair went into production for the first time. The CH88P dining chair’s clever construction and stackable quality make it highly functional. The steel frame combined with the wooden backrest and seat provides an elegant design and comfortable form. The CH88P is available with a seat upholstered in leather or fabric, adding even greater versatility and comfort, whereas the CH88T Chair is available with an elegant form-pressed seat in veneer.
