Introduced in 1950 and faithfully reissued in 2017, the CH23 Dining Chair distills Hans J. Wegner’s early Danish modern vision into a poised, human-scaled form. At first glance, the artful wood chair reads as effortlessly simple; look closer and the craft reveals itself in elegant cruciform cover caps recessed into the backrest, a hand-double-woven paper-cord seat that marries tradition, comfort, and durability, and arched rear legs engineered for balance and longevity. Carl Hansen & Søn has preserved every aesthetic and structural nuance from Wegner’s original hand-drawn sketches, honoring a Scandinavian design language that pairs organic contours with rigorous joinery. Crafted from natural materials that grow warmer and richer with time, the CH23 brings quiet sophistication and an inviting, tactile presence to the dining room—minimal, meticulous, and unmistakably Wegner.
Custom leather seat cushions are available for additional comfort and protection.
