Description
The Carl Hansen CH20 Elbow Chair, designed by Hans J.Wegner in 1956, is a refined expression of modern Danish craftsmanship. Compact, elegant, and supremely comfortable, the CH20 reflects Wegner’s mastery of form and function — with subtle curves, organic materials, and meticulous detailing.
This sculptural chair features a steam-bent, curved backrest crafted from a single piece of solid wood, providing both visual balance and ergonomic support. Its generous seat is padded and upholstered for enhanced comfort, making it equally suitable for dining, workspaces, or accent seating.
Handcrafted by Carl Hansen & Søn in Denmark, the CH20 is built using sustainable, FSC®-certified hardwoods and premium upholstery options in leather or fabric. The clean lines and minimal footprint make it ideal for modern interiors where design integrity and usability are equally important.
As with all Carl Hansen originals each chair comes with a metal plate below the seat showing authenticity and batch number.
Finishes
Soap - The closest to raw wood; grain and structure are visible; light in colour
Oil - Grain and structure are visible; lighter than soap; creates lustre and brings out contrast in grain and structure. Darkens over time to a rich patina
White Oil - Same as oil with grain and structure visible with a light tinge.
