Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - a Classic Danish Design

By: Richard Guilfoyle

Anyone who loves Danish furniture (danska möbler) designs, as well as others who simply enjoy good, comfortable, yet functional furniture, are likely to know of Hans J Wegner, who passed away in February of 2007 at 92 years of age. Hans J Wegner was the designer of over 500 chairs, among those only one was a rope chair, which is the ch 25.
In general Danish furniture (danska möbler) is recognized for clean lines and simple elegance in design, and Wegner's works personify this styling. The ch 25 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 Wegner ch is considered to be extremely well "engineered" as well as strikingly beautiful by many industry experts. When someone sits on the chair, their weight is held in the front legs of the chair. The CH 25 is very well built and stable. The material on the back and seat are woven in a beautiful design.
The rope comes in different colors to match a specific decor and the most common wood used seems to be a more or less natural oak. These chairs are not bulky or terribly heavy so they are a pleasure to use and give much flexibility to a room. They are exceptionally durable for fine design armchairs, and even though the Wegner ch is rather expensive, you get tremendous value.
Don't let the price tag of the 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 CH 25 is such a trophy.
