CH20 Elbow Chair

The CH20 Elbow Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Søn, is a masterful blend of functional design and aesthetic simplicity. First introduced into production in 2005, the CH20 quickly gained recognition as a modern classic, securing the prestigious ICFF Editors’ Award in New York that same year.

The Elbow Chair is defined by its iconic steam-bent backrest, which is crafted from a single piece of solid wood. This innovative design not only provides excellent elbow and lower back support but also allows for a variety of comfortable sitting positions, making it versatile for different settings. The chair’s refined silhouette is further enhanced by a unique rail construction beneath the seat, formed from pressed veneer, offering an optimal balance between stability and a light, almost floating visual impression.
