AN ELEGANT EMBRACE
The CH78 Lounge Chair by the legendary Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner was first introduced in 1954. Affectionately known as the Mama Bear Chair, it was an antidote to the often-heavy lounge chairs of the time; the chair’s elegant and expertly crafted silhouette is defined by a series of inviting curves that offer up a warm embrace.
To celebrate the coming of spring, Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduces the iconic design in sumptuous buttercream upholstery. Hallingdal 100 is a luxurious, soft white wool-blend fabric with rich texture and supreme durability. Set against shape-defining legs and armrests in solid FSC™-certified wood, (FSC C135991) it beautifully complements the supportive, sculptural curves of the chair and works in any space.
The CH78 Lounge Chair in Hallingdal 100 is available with white-oiled oak or oiled walnut wood. The corresponding CH53 Footstool offers additional comfort and functionality for an elegant pairing, while an optional neck pillow in Hallingdal 100 or sand-colored Thor 325 leather completes the design. Footstool and neck pillow are sold separately.
“CH78 contains various elegant and refined design elements, just like Hans J. Wegner’s other furniture pieces. Hans J. Wegner was an uncompromising furniture designer and craftsman with a rare attention to minuscule details – as well as to dimensions and collections. Initiating the production of one of the master’s designs is therefore always met with great enthusiasm from our skilled craftsmen.” - KNUD ERIK HANSEN - CEO OF CARL HANSEN & SØN

Hans J. Wegner
1914 - 2007
Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative, innovative and productive Danish furniture designers. Wegner, also known as the ‘Master of the Chair’, designed more than 500 chairs during his career – many of which are considered masterpieces. Wegner is probably best known for his iconic Wishbone Chair, which has been in continuous production since 1950.
At the heart of Wegner’s legacy is his unique ability to express the inner soul of furniture through a simple and functional exterior.
