Wegner Ch 25 - Hans J Wegner's Great Design
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 Wegner CH 25.
In general Danish furniture (danska möbler) is recognized for clean lines and simple elegance in design, and Wegner's works personify this styling. The Wegner CH 25 is a classic profile armchair, one that is easily recognized as this specific model, but also as a Wegner design. It comes in many wood types, and with a timeless design it remains desirable for years after purchase.
The Hans J Wegner ch is a very well engineered design as well as being an attractive one. The forelegs take most of a person's weight and the result is an extremely stable chair and a very strong one. The rope seat and back are woven in a special and distinctive pattern to add to the visual appeal of this design.
The rope is available in colors that you can match to your interior decor, while the wood that is most commonly used is an oak. Since these chairs are light, and not too large, they are easily moved about giving greater flexibility to your room decor. They are also quite durable for a fine armchair, thus you get a good value, despite the relative expense of the Hans J Wegner ch.
The price tag on the Hans J Wegner ch should run you around $2,000 USD, but the value of this classic design exceeds the price tag. In fact, with a reasonable amount of care this chair will probably see its value increase over time. Though the chair has a look of wicker it is a much more stylish and durable presentation.
This Wegner motif may create a curiosity in his other gorgeous and graceful styles or in Danish motif in general. With better than five hundred seating styles from which to choose, and a nearly never-ending assortment of woods and color emphasis, there is most likely a chair for everyone. An internet search of his name will give you an idea of the significance of Wegner in the realm of furniture style and the reason the Wegner CH 25 is such a trophy.
