Carl Hansen & Søn reissues Hans J Wegner's CH22 lounge chair

Carl Hansen & Søn has reintroduced Danish designer Hans J Wegner's CH22 lounge chair one of the first pieces he originally designed for the furniture company in 1950.

The CH22 lounge chair was part of Wegner's debut collection for the Danish company, and was first released in 1950 amongst other models such as the iconic CH24 – also known as the Wishbone chair or the Y Chair. Manufactured to Wegner's original specifications, the CH22 is a low armchair with a solid wood construction. It features flat armrests with rounded edges and the designer's characteristic curving supports, and a handwoven seat made from paper cord.

The chair's backrest is made from form-pressed wood veneer, and features oblong cover caps over the join between the back and the frame.
