# Wing Takes Stripe CH 445 Wing Chair By ajle | Published 2007-08-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wing-takes-stripe References: [furnitureseen](http://furnitureseen.com/NY/CH_445_Wingchair.html) For most, it doesn't take much convincing that [Modern Classics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/research-centre) are deserving of the title. Simple forms, clean lines and thoughtful detail characterize these timeless pieces. The CH 445 Wing Chair designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1960 was [reintroduced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi-1) and enthusiastically received by a new generation in 2006 - a testament not only to its [timeless design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ec127), but to its incredible comfort and functionality. Its most notable design elements are the back's upward swooping corner angle, shoulder groove and upholstered arm rests which provide incredible comfort. Shown here upholstered in a Paul Smith stripe.
