The CH290 Series traces its origins to Hans J. Wegner’s 1962 seating collection and now returns with renewed vitality in Carl Hansen & Søn’s latest release. The collection presents a two- and three-seater sofa, a low lounge chair, high lounge chair and ottoman, each piece underpinned by the signature angled round legs and wide armrests that define its visual identity. The upholstery, cushions and wood finishes are selected to integrate with current interiors while maintaining the series’ original compositional harmony.
Crafted entirely in Denmark, Carl Hansen & Søn’s manufacturing preserves traditional joinery, solid proportions and unwavering attention to material expression. The new edition does not reinterpret the concept but sustains Wegner’s legacy of timelessness, bringing refined craftsmanship into contemporary living spaces without altering the inherent balance and presence of the original design.
