About the Designer
Carl Hansen & Søn

Carl Hansen & Søn
The CH78 Lounge Chair was originally introduced by Hans J. Wegner in 1954 as an extension of his compact CH71 Chair. In 2024, Carl Hansen & Søn commemorates the chair’s 70th anniversary with a celebratory special edition presenting a new woollen upholstery with a subdued colour palette. The upholstery, Umber, lends its name from the earthy brown pigment umber. The fabric’s sophisticated aesthetic is enhanced by its hand-crafted quality, creating a soft surface that brings comfort, calm and serenity to any space. Mama Bear’s sculptural silhouette is defined by a series of inviting curves that offer up a warm embrace.
