Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - Danish Design Brilliance
Anyone who loves Danish furniture (danska möbler) designs, as well as others who simply enjoy good, comfortable, yet functional furniture, are likely to know of Hans J Wegner, who passed away in February of 2007 at 92 years of age. Wegner was the designer of over 500 chairs, among those only one was a rope chair, which is the Hans J Wegner ch.
In general Danish furniture (danska möbler) is recognized for clean lines and simple elegance in design, and Wegner's works personify this styling. The Hans J Wegner ch is a classic profile armchair, one that is easily recognized as this specific model, but also as a Wegner design. It comes in many wood types, and with a timeless design it remains desirable for years after purchase.
The Wegner stol is considered to be extremely well "engineered" as well as strikingly beautiful by many industry experts. When someone sits on the chair, their weight is held in the front legs of the chair. The CH 25 is very well built and stable. The material on the back and seat are woven in a beautiful design.
The rope is available in colors that you can match to your interior decor, while the wood that is most commonly used is an oak. Since these chairs are light, and not too large, they are easily moved about giving greater flexibility to your room decor. They are also quite durable for a fine armchair, thus you get a good value, despite the relative expense of the Wegner stol.
Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $2,000 USD for the Wegner stol, but consider the value of this classic instead of dollars and cents alone. This is a chair likely to appreciate in value with only reasonable care. It gives the look of wicker with much more durability and considerably more style and cache.
This Wegner design might spark an interest in his other beautiful and elegant styles or in Danish design furniture (danska design möbler) in general. With more than 500 chair designs to choose from, and an almost infinite variety of woods and color accents, there is likely a chair to suit anyone. An online search of his name will provide an idea of how significant Wegner truly is in the world of furniture design and why his only woven rope chair is such a prize.
