Carl Hansen & Son have been manufacturing authentic Hans J. Wegner furniture for more than 70 years. The CH45 Rocking chair designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1965 has now been relaunched the enjoyment of todays enthusiasts of design and craftmanship.
As with all relaunches of Hans J. Wegner, the CH45 Rocking Chair has been created in close collaboration with Hans J. Wegner’s Design Studio, which safeguards his design heritage today.
The CH45 Rocking Chair is perfectly proportioned, so one can sit relaxed and rock easily, but can also rise effortlessly from the chair. The reclining backrest adds a dynamic expression to the overall composition, and the kinship with the other furniture in the series is evident in the shaped bars, the envelope-patterned seat of paper cord and the uniquely curved armrests, which are elevated at the rear. These design elements are classically Wegner, as the elevation allows for a solid joint. The grooves at the top of the backrest are also a typical Wegner detail, as they not only appear decorative but can also be used as suspension for a neck pillow.
The CH45 Rocking Chair is crafted at Carl Hansen & Son in Gelsted in Denmark. Here, all surfaces are carefully hand-polished by the skilled craftsmen, who also weave the seat from 213 metres of paper cord – a time-consuming process of around 1.5 hours.
Dimensions: W50.5 x D50.5 x H78.5 x Seat Height 44.5cm
