CH22 armchair - black oak

The CH22 armchair from Carl Hansen & Søn pays homage to the masterful design of Hans J. Wegner. Made from black oak, this lounge chair impressively combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. The striking wooden backrest with visible cover caps immediately attracts attention and gives the armchair an unmistakable silhouette. But the CH22 only reveals its sophistication on closer inspection, when the attention to detail and well thought-out construction become apparent.

The handmade paper cord, which is artfully wrapped around the seat frame and runs downwards through a horizontal groove in the backrest, deserves special attention. This technique not only ensures visual elegance, but also exceptional seating comfort. The oak armrests wrap around the side strut and the seat frame, giving them stability and a sleek aesthetic. These details are characteristic of Wegner's style and make the CH22 a timeless piece of furniture.

Since the resumption of production in 2016, which originally began in 1950, the CH22 has been manufactured with the same high standards of craftsmanship that Wegner himself introduced. Modernized techniques now allow for even more precise manufacturing, with the front and back legs sharing the same profile and being guided upwards through the seat frame. These innovations remain true to Wegner's original vision and give the armchair a timeless quality that makes it a true classic.

Whether in an elegant living room or a stylish office, the CH22 armchair in black oak blends seamlessly into a wide variety of environments. Its combination of aesthetic sophistication and functional design makes it an indispensable element for lovers of high-quality furniture and sophisticated lifestyles.

Optimal use and care

Wood :

Wood is a living, natural material and should therefore always be cleaned as gently as possible. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth ensures that the furniture always looks good and has a beautiful patina. Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean furniture.

Solid wood furniture should not be placed near heat sources such as radiators and wood stoves or stored in unheated rooms.
Wood is a natural material and therefore no two pieces are alike. Small knots, visible growth spots and color variations are part of the natural appearance of wood. The parts of a piece of furniture are always assembled according to color and structure so that the piece of furniture is beautiful and complete.
The furniture is beautiful and complete. Color and texture can vary from one piece of furniture to another.

Paper cord

The paper cords used at Carl Hansen & Søn are made from sustainable, FSC-certified materials. We use two different colors of paper cords: natural and black. The natural paper cord is made from unbleached paper while the black cord is dyed.

Normal cleaning and maintenance
Paper cord typically requires little or no maintenance as the durable paper cord is designed to last for years. If you want to clean the seat, you can wipe it with a well-wrung soft cloth and a neutral, colorless soap solution. It is not recommended to do this too often as it may cause unnecessary wear and tear on the paper cord. The paper cord has a thin layer of wax that prevents staining. However, discoloration of the paper cord can occur if strong liquids, e.g. E.g. red wine, fruit juice or strongly colored food can be spilled on the cord.
