The FH429 Signature Chair by Frits Henningsen for Carl Hansen & Søn is a serene culmination of Henningsen’s craft. The Signature Chair captures eye‑catching simplicity in a fluid, sculptural form developed through the cabinetmaker’s exacting process—first modeled in clay and toothpicks, then refined for months in his Copenhagen workshop. Completed in 1954 with fewer than 20 originals produced, this iconic lounge chair was faithfully reintroduced in 2015. The uniquely Danish design expresses comfort through continuous curves and subtly floating armrests that feel both weightless and enveloping. Stripped of ornament yet rich in nuance, the chair reflects Henningsen’s uncompromising standards and his ability to distill classical references—from French Empire and rococo to British 17th‑century design—into an organic, modern furniture silhouette. The result is a final masterwork that invites quiet contemplation and brings refined, timeless character to modern, traditional, and contemporary interiors alike.
The FH429 Signature Chair is available with the matching FH430 footstool for added comfort.
