Hans J. Wegner Hans J. Wegner was one of the most significant furniture designers o f the 20th century. A giant of Danish Modern, Wegner is especially revered for his iconic chairs, though he also designed a wide range of other exceptional furniture. Unsurpassed in his understanding of wood craftsmanship and uncompromising in his perception of quality, Wegner designed furniture that is equally renowned for its generous comfort and organic, sculptural beauty. Following Wegner s death in January 2007, Carl Hansen & Søn continue t o cooperate closely with Hans J. Wegner s Studio. The two companies w o r k together to maintain the high quality standards for which Wegner was famous and to reintroduce carefully selected pieces from the treasure chest of design that he left behind. 2 3

Together at last CH101 CH102 CH103 CH104 CH106 CH108 H ans J. Wegner designed a complete series of lounge furniture in 1970 using leather, steel and glass. The furniture works beautifully together - or individually. Carl Hansen & Søn relaunched the CH100 series in 2008 on the occasion of the firm's 100th anniversary. 30 31
I feel details as much as I see them. People touch the furniture; they see with their hands. Hans J. Wegner 32 33
Beauty is more than skin deep Beneath the exquisite exterior of CH445, The Wing Chair, is a well-kept secret: a hand-made wooden frame that is in itself a thing of beauty. And it will never be seen by anyone but our craftsmen. We build our upholstered chair and sofa frames with wood and dedication and would never dream of using fiberglass or plastic. Because that s the way Hans J. Wegner designed them and because wood comes from renewable sources, and just feels better to us. 34 35
The chair is the thing that is closest to people, so it is important that its detailing is in order. Hans J. Wegner 36 37
You decide CH07, The Shell Chair, is available in an eye-popping variety of colors and upholstery.

Then, select among the hundreds of available fabrics or leathers to find what best fits your needs and décor just like the rest of our upholstered furniture. Chair, CH_07, designed by Hans J.

Peter's table and chair Hans J. Wegner created his children's table and chair as a christening gift for Peter Mogensen, the child of his friend and fellow furniture designer, Børge Mogensen. With its rounded edges, assembly without screws or nails, and untreated solid wood, Peter's Chair and Table are completely safe and educational for young children. 50 51

FURNITURE FOR THE CORNER OFFICE BY HANS J. WEGNER CH110 CH111 CH112 CH113 A bold strategy is nothing without uncompromising execution. The simple, strong lines of Wegner s desk exude serenity; sumptuous materials and exquisite craftsmanship deliver to create lasting value. The expansive desktop provides ideal conditions for big ideas. The dovetailed drawers are great places to keep the devilish details. Available in oak or walnut - in either oil or lacquer. Fully upholstered seat and back provide outstanding comfort to make CH111 equally suitable at the conference table or the desk. Let your eye follow the back legs as they gently twist to embrace the chair back: a meeting between form and function that only Wegner could envision. Can a chair become more contemporary 40 years after it was designed? Introducing Wegner s easy chair in steel and saddle leather. It looks exactly as it did when Wegner designed it in 1970; perhaps the rest of us have simply caught up in the meantime. Available with or without armrest pads. A variation on CH112, this elegant meeting chair is equally at ease in the office or boardroom. It gets along famously with the rest of the collection, but is also confident enough to stand on its own. Seat and back in saddle leather; available with or without armrest pads. 60 61
Niels Hvass and Christina Strand Straight forward pleasure Strand+Hvass bring their own stringent aesthetic approach to the design of modern furniture. While the results of this approach are richly diverse, they all share an unswerving dedication to simplicity, a view of the whole, and an eye to detail. Strand+Hvass designs are known both for the economy of their lines and the generosity of their innovation. 62 63

Thomas Bo Kastholm s DayBed As the son of Jørgen Kastholm, Thomas Bo Kastholm was born into a family passionate about furniture design. Thomas Bo Kastholm followed in his father s footsteps, studying design at the Danish Design School and worked for studios in both Denmark and Germany. Cooperation between Carl Hansen & Søn and Thomas Bo Kastholm began in 2009. With his DayBed, Thomas Bo Kastholm sets out to achieve a design that is open and straightforward and also showcases his favorite materials, steel and leather. The result, TK8, is a light bench with a simple, almost minimalistic construction. The frame is produced without welding, and can be assembled with just a few bolts. Thomas Bo Kastholm 68 69

Every piece comes with a story and a history of craftsmanship Carl Hansen & Søn has produced quality furniture since 1908, and has cooperated with the Hans J. Wegner Studio since 1949. We craft high-end furniture in small series, endeavoring to combine the best of centuries-old woodworking traditions with modern production techniques to provide our customers with outstanding design and lasting value. Through almost 60 years Hans J. Wegner designed a variety of his most iconic pieces specifically for Carl Hansen & Søn. We continue to work with the studio of Hans J. Wegner to introduce or re-launch the very best of the treasure chest of design he left behind. Sustainable design There is nothing throw-away about our furniture. The lasting beauty of its designs has been tested by the varying tastes of several generations. Its workmanship has stood the trials of everyday use since 1950. And it is still going strong. Many of our models have been in production for more than 60 years and rightly deserve to be called contemporary design classics. Wegner s designs appeal to both young and old. Like works of other design geniuses, they make their way into beautiful homes all around the world, transcending fashion trends and decorating styles. Sustainable production processes The wellbeing of our staff is something that we take very seriously. Our production facilities and processes meet or exceed all European and Danish health and safety requirements, which are among the most stringent in the world. The physical working environment is pleasantly modern, with natural lighting and ergonomically correct workstations for all. All production and administrative employees in Denmark are eligible to receive free, regular massage to prevent long-term injury that could be related to their work. Sustainable materials True to our Danish furniture traditions, Danish hardwoods from renewable sources play a central role in most of what we do. We use paper cord seats on many chairs. We upholster other chairs with high quality wool fabrics or leather. Stainless steel is also used on some chair and table models, and we use steel bolts and fixtures. Of course, all materials that we use in our furniture are completely safe in homes and working environments. 73
