Carl Hansen CH20 Elbow Chair

The CH20 Elbow Chair was designed by Hans J.Wegner in 1956 but not actually put into production until 2005. Elbow is a compact dining chair that can also be stacked. The lower back support and horizontal seat also make the chair suitable for working at a table or desk. Made from Danish oak in a variety of finishes, Elbow has an upholstered seat in various fabrics.
