CH22 armchair - walnut

The CH22 armchair from Carl Hansen & Søn is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that embodies the timeless elegance and functionality of design legend Hans J. Wegner. Made from high-quality walnut, this lounge chair radiates a natural warmth that is further enhanced by the oil-treated surface. The characteristic feature of the CH22 is the large, striking backrest made of walnut veneer, which has been finished with visible cover caps and immediately catches the eye.

Particularly noteworthy are the Wegner-typical details that make the armchair a true work of art. The solid walnut armrests elegantly wrap around the side strut and the seat frame before extending to their full width under the armrest to provide optimum support. The seat is artfully covered with natural paper cord, the cords of which are threaded through a horizontal groove in the backrest, giving the armchair its unique structure.

Another highlight of the design are the front legs, which are guided by sophisticated joints with hand-assembled corners. These details are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also functionally well thought out. Despite modern production methods, the armchair remains true to the original handcrafted approach that brought it to life in Carl Hansen's workshop in 1950. Modernization has improved the precision of manufacturing and allowed the front legs to now have the same profile as the back legs, just as Wegner had originally designed.

The CH22 armchair is not just a piece of furniture, but a statement for style-conscious aesthetes who value excellent workmanship and classic design. Whether in the living room or in a stylish lounge, the CH22 lends any room an aura of exclusivity and timeless beauty.

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.
