Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - a Classic Danish Design
Anyone who loves Danish furniture (danska möbler) designs, as well as others who simply enjoy good, comfortable, yet functional furniture, are likely to know of Hans J Wegner, who passed away in February of 2007 at 92 years of age. Hans Wegner was the designer of over 500 chairs, among those only one was a rope chair, which is the Wegner CH 25.
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 25, 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 ch 25 is a very well engineered design as well as being an attractive one. The forelegs take most of a person's weight and the result is an extremely stable chair and a very strong one. The rope seat and back are woven in a special and distinctive pattern to add to the visual appeal of this design.
The rope is offered in many color varieties and can match most decors given that the most common woods used are varieties similar to natural oak. These chairs are neither heavy nor bulky, and give a much needed jolt of flexibility to a room. They are made of fine materials and a made to be durable. Although the ch 25 is rather highly priced, the value for the money is excellent.
Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $2,000 USD for the ch 25, but consider the value of this classic instead of dollars and cents alone. This is a chair likely to appreciate in value with only reasonable care. It gives the look of wicker with much more durability and considerably more style and cache.
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.
