Background-
Hans J. Wegner originally sketched the Wing Chair (CH445) in 1960 but was not put into series production until 2006. This timeless classic contains the hallmarks of Wegner's best work - calm, clean lines and exceptional comfort. Wegner's genius at combining form and function mean this chair was not just designed for its visual appeal, but as a chair to be used, to be sat in, and to curl up in.
The chair's timeless appeal received a classic innovation award at IMM Cologne 2006, where it was launched.
