The history of the Circle Chair
The Hans Wegner Circle Chair, also known as the CH28, is a classic and iconic piece of Danish modernist furniture design. Created by the renowned Danish designer Hans J. Wegner in 1950, the Circle Chair exemplifies Wegner's commitment to functional elegance and his enduring influence on the trajectory of Scandinavian design.
Wegner, who was a central figure in the Danish design renaissance of the mid-20th century, conceived the Circle Chair as a refined exploration of the human form. Drawing inspiration from the organic curves of the body, he crafted a seat that would cradle and support the sitter in a warm, cosseting embrace, providing exceptional comfort and freedom of movement.
The Circle Chair's distinctive profile is achieved through the use of a continuous, gently curving frame of solid wood, which is then complemented by a woven seat and backrest. This innovative combination of natural materials not only lent the design a striking visual presence, but also ensured exceptional durability and stability.
