The discreet icon of Danish design

The CH07 armchair by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen, created in 1963, remains one of Hans J. Wegner’s boldest pieces. Nicknamed the “Shell Chair”, it surprises with its low profile and only three legs. Yet it offers perfect stability and unexpected comfort. Wegner pushes the boundaries of structure to better highlight the form.

Oiled oak and full-grain leather

The shell is sculpted from solid oiled oak, revealing the natural beauty of the grain. The seat and backrest are generously padded and upholstered in warm brown full-grain leather (Group A). This premium leather ages beautifully over time. The fluid curves embrace the body and create an immediate cocooning effect.

Enveloping comfort and technical daring

Only three legs support the whole – a feat of balance. The low seat invites lingering relaxation. The slightly inclined backrest and integrated armrests provide natural support. The CH07 armchair by Hans Wegner for Carl Hansen combines visual lightness with true everyday comfort.

Rare versatility in any interior

It fits perfectly in a minimalist Nordic living room or beside a chalet fireplace. Its organic lines pair with raw wood, concrete or marble. With generous dimensions – 92 × 83 × H 74 cm – it commands a gentle presence without ever dominating.

Wegner’s legacy at Carl Hansen

Since 1950, Carl Hansen & Søn has produced Hans Wegner’s designs with absolute respect for Danish artisanal craftsmanship. The CH07 embodies this pursuit of functional elegance that spans decades. A piece that ages gracefully and remains forever contemporary.
