Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - Danish Design Brilliance
Lovers of Danish design furniture (danska design möbler) and many others who simply love comfort, elegance and functionality know the name of designer Hans J Wegner who died in February of 2007 at the ripe old age of 92. Wegner designed over 500 chairs, but only one was a rope chair, the Wegner ch chair.
Danish furniture (danska möbler) is traditionally recognized for clean lines and simple elegance, exemplified in Wegner's works. Wegner's signature styling is easily recognized in the form of the Wegner ch, an armchair with a classic profile. This chair's timeless design continues to be highly desirable many years after its creation and is available in many woods.
The Wegner CH 25 is an example of a finely manufactured chair. Attention is paid in respects to it's engineering. Distributing a person's weight to the front legs of the chair attains stability. Another feature is in the pleasant appearance. The weave of the rope seat and back form 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 CH 25.
Don't let the price tag of the Wegner CH 25 scare you -- you might pay somewhere around $2,000 USD, but this chair's value goes far beyond any price you might pay. It's stylish and collectible - everything you love about wicker but much more durable. With routine care, expect this chair to grow more valuable as it ages.
This Wegner motif may create a curiosity in his other gorgeous and graceful styles or in Danish motif in general. With better than five hundred seating styles from which to choose, and a nearly never-ending assortment of woods and color emphasis, there is most likely a chair for everyone. An internet search of his name will give you an idea of the significance of Wegner in the realm of furniture style and the reason the ch 25 is such a trophy.
