Name: CH45 Rocking Chair
Brand: Carl Hansen & Søn
Availability: OutOfStock

Carl Hansen & Søn has been a proud manufacturer of Hans J. Wegner furniture for more than 70 years and is now adding the CH45 Rocking Chair to the extensive collection. Hans J. Wegner, also known as the ‘Master of the Chair’, was a pioneering Danish furniture architect, who managed to create around 500 chairs throughout his career. Wegner typically designed chairs in pairs with different variations, for example one dining chair with armrests and one without. However, in the mid-1960s, he designed an entire furniture series for Carl Hansen & Søn consisting of 13 unique items – including the CH45 Rocking Chair, designed in 1965, which was only manufactured for a short period of time.

This furniture series has a distinct Wegner identity, clear Shaker references, as well as a wider Nordic expression in its pure simplicity. Today, several pieces of furniture from the series are still in production at Carl Hansen & Søn, including the CH44 Lounge Chair, the CH46 and CH47 Dining Chairs and the CH53 Stool. These are now accompanied by the CH45 Rocking Chair.
