CH25 armchair - oak

The CH25 armchair from Carl Hansen & Søn is a masterpiece of Danish design that impresses with its simple elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Designed by Hans J. Wegner, this lounge chair embodies the perfect symbiosis of form and function that is characteristic of Wegner's work. The armchair is made of high-quality oak, whose natural grain gives the piece of furniture a warm and inviting aura.

The innovative use of paper cord for the seat and backrest is particularly noteworthy. This material, originally developed as a replacement for seagrass during the Second World War, impresses with its unique look as well as its durability and dimensional stability. It takes the skill of an experienced craftsman to process the 400 meters of paper cord in an elaborate process. In a time-consuming process lasting 10 hours, a weave is created that is visible on both sides of the backrest and gives the armchair its unmistakable character.

The CH25 has been in continuous production since its launch in 1950 and continues to enjoy great popularity among lovers of timeless design icons. Its clear shape and carefully selected materials make it a timeless classic that adds a stylish accent to any room. The CH25 armchair is not just a piece of furniture, but an expression of style and lifestyle that will last for generations and enrich any living space.

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.
