Oak CH-25 lounge chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Søn, Denmark. Among Wegner’s earliest and most enduring designs, the CH25 is distinguished by its low reclining silhouette, sculptural oak frame, and extensively hand-woven paper cord seat and back. The CH25 is notable for the complexity of its woven construction, requiring hundreds of meters of paper cord applied entirely by hand. Though visually lightweight, the chair feels exceptionally solid and substantial in use. The chair reflects Wegner’s ability to reduce traditional craftsmanship to its essential forms while maintaining exceptional comfort.
This later Carl Hansen production is executed in solid oak with a natural paper cord weave. The frame features softly rounded edges, exposed joinery, tapered dowel supports, and dramatically splayed rear legs that give the chair a grounded, architectural presence from every angle. Broad paddle-form armrests are carefully shaped for comfort, while the suspended woven seat and angled backrest create a relaxed seating position with notable flexibility and support. The woven paper cord introduces a dense geometric texture that contrasts with the open profile and warm grain of the oak.
The oak frame presents with a warm, even tone and attractive patina throughout. The woven paper cord is taut and intact, showing only minor discoloration and light wear consistent with age and use. Manufacturer’s foil label affixed beneath the armrest.
