Hans J Wegner Ch 25 - Danish Design Brilliance
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.
Danish furniture (danska möbler) is traditionally recognized for clean lines and simple elegance, exemplified in Wegner's works. Wegner's signature styling is easily recognized in the form of the ch 25, an armchair with a classic profile. This chair's timeless design continues to be highly desirable many years after its creation and is available in many woods.
The Wegner ch 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 comes in different colors to match a specific decor and the most common wood used seems to be a more or less natural oak. These chairs are not bulky or terribly heavy so they are a pleasure to use and give much flexibility to a room. They are exceptionally durable for fine design armchairs, and even though the Wegner ch is rather expensive, you get tremendous value.
Don't let the price tag of the Wegner ch scare you -- you might pay somewhere around $2,000 USD, but this chair's value goes far beyond any price you might pay. It's stylish and collectible - everything you love about wicker but much more durable. With routine care, expect this chair to grow more valuable as it ages.
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. Doing an online search for Wegner will give you a true appreciation for his significance in the realm of furniture design, making his only woven rope chair quite a prize.
