Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - a Classic Danish Design

by Richard Guilfoyle

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 ch 25.

Clean lines and simple elegance are the typical trademarks of Danish furniture (danska möbler), and Wegner's works are no exception and typical of the genre. The ch 25 is a classically profiled armchair that is easily recognizable for its signature style. It comes in many different wood types and often is prized many years after its creation due to its timeless design style.

The Wegner CH 25 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 is offered in many color varieties and can match most decors given that the most common woods used are varieties similar to natural oak. These chairs are neither heavy nor bulky, and give a much needed jolt of flexibility to a room. They are made of fine materials and a made to be durable. Although the Wegner CH 25 is rather highly priced, the value for the money is excellent.

The price tag on the Wegner CH 25 should run you around $2,000 USD, but the value of this classic design exceeds the price tag. In fact, with a reasonable amount of care this chair will probably see its value increase over time. Though the chair has a look of wicker it is a much more stylish and durable presentation.

This particular piece of Wegner furniture (wegner möbler) may also create in you an interest in other great, elegant, Danish styles as well. His style presents over 500 designs from which to choose, with a seemingly limitless amount of wood and color accents. All of this makes it quite likely that you will find a chair that suits your tastes.
