Why you'll love this classic wooden dining chair
The Carl Hansen & Søn CH26 Chair is a masterwork of Danish modern design, originally conceived by Hans J. Wegner in 1950 and faithfully produced today with the finest craftsmanship. Sharing its DNA with the celebrated CH22 lounge chair, the CH26 translates Wegner’s sculptural aesthetic into a perfectly balanced dining and desk chair.
Crafted from solid oak or walnut with a hand-woven paper cord seat, the CH26 reflects Wegner’s dedication to comfort, form, and honest materials. Subtle design details — from the elegantly curved backrest to the carefully angled legs — ensure long-lasting support while showcasing the natural beauty of wood.
Ideal for both dining rooms and home offices, the CH26 offers versatile functionality without compromising on style. Its combination of modernist purity, organic comfort, and enduring quality makes it a favourite among design collectors, architects, and interior enthusiasts worldwide.
As part of Carl Hansen’s renowned Wegner collection, the CH26 Chair is not only a piece of furniture but a lasting investment in Scandinavian design heritage.
*Oak / Walnut mix is version that combines an oak frame & armrest with walnut backrest.
