Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - Danish Design Brilliance
Individuals who studied Danish designers, or those who prefer style and grace throughout their daily routine have surely heard of Hans J. Wegner. This designer just recently passed away, only a few years short of the century mark. Throughout his life, he created hundreds of designs, but only a single rope chair. That design is the Wegner CH25.
In general Danish furniture (danska möbler) is recognized for clean lines and simple elegance in design, and Wegner's works personify this styling. The Wegner CH25 is a classic profile armchair, one that is easily recognized as this specific model, but also as a Wegner design. It comes in many wood types, and with a timeless design it remains desirable for years after purchase.
The Hans J Wegner ch is the perfect example of a well-engineered, attractive design. Because the forelegs support most of the person's weight, the chair is extremely stable and strong. The visual appeal of the chair is enhanced by the seat and back, which are constructed of woven rope in a distinctive, special pattern.
The rope is available in colors that you can match to your interior decor, while the wood that is most commonly used is an oak. Since these chairs are light, and not too large, they are easily moved about giving greater flexibility to your room decor. They are also quite durable for a fine armchair, thus you get a good value, despite the relative expense of the Hans J Wegner ch.
Don't let the price tag of the Hans J Wegner ch scare you -- you might pay somewhere around $2,000 USD, but this chair's value goes far beyond any price you might pay. It's stylish and collectible - everything you love about wicker but much more durable. With routine care, expect this chair to grow more valuable as it ages.
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 Wegner CH 25 is such a trophy.
