CH25 armchair - black oak

The CH25 armchair in black oak by Carl Hansen & Søn is a masterpiece of Scandinavian design that combines elegance and functionality to perfection. This iconic piece of furniture, designed by Hans J. Wegner, impresses with its clear and simple form, which is nevertheless unmistakable and unique. The lounge chair is a prime example of Wegner's visionary approach and his ability to use traditional materials in an innovative way.

The CH25 is characterized by its carefully hand-woven seat and backrest, which are made from a woven paper cord. This material, originally developed as a substitute for seagrass during the Second World War, has exceptional durability and dimensional stability. Each armchair is produced in an elaborate process that takes an experienced craftsman around 10 hours to artfully weave the 400 meters of paper cord into a strong yet flexible weave.

The black oak gives the armchair an elegant and timeless aesthetic that can be perfectly integrated into a variety of interior styles. Thanks to the special weaving technique, the fascinating pattern is visible on both the front and back of the backrest, giving the CH25 an impressive presence from every angle.

Since its introduction in 1950, the CH25 lounge chair has lost none of its appeal and is still in continuous production today. It is a testament to the timeless relevance and artistic value that Hans J. Wegner has captured in his designs. The CH25 armchair is not just a piece of furniture, but an expression of style and craftsmanship excellence that will be a highlight in any room.

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.
