CH07 armchair - oiled walnut

The CH07 armchair from Carl Hansen & Søn is a tribute to the visionary design of Hans J. Wegner. Originally introduced in 1963, the Shell Chair captivates with its avant-garde look, which has lost none of its fascination to this day. The armchair, in the oiled walnut version, combines timeless elegance with modern comfort and is a prime example of Scandinavian design art.

The unmistakable shape of the CH07 is characterized by a wing-like seat and a curved backrest, which give the impression of floating lightness. These are supported by a sturdy frame with three curved legs, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. The two front legs consist of a single element, which gives the armchair its characteristic stability and unique appearance.

Particular attention is paid to the high-quality materials used for the Shell Chair. The seat and backrest are made of upholstered, compression-molded veneer, which not only gives the chair a luxurious appearance, but also ensures maximum seating comfort. The oiled walnut gives the chair a warm and natural look that blends harmoniously into a wide variety of interior styles.

The CH07 is more than just a piece of furniture - it is a clear manifestation of Wegner's conviction that a chair should be appealing from all sides and angles while always offering comfort. Since its rediscovery in 1998, the Shell Chair has inspired a new generation of design lovers and cemented its place as a design classic. With the CH07 armchair, you are investing in a piece of design history that will add character and style to your living space.

Optimal use and care

Wood :

Wood is a living, natural material and should therefore always be cleaned as gently as possible. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth ensures that the furniture always looks good and has a beautiful patina. Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean furniture.

Solid wood furniture should not be placed near heat sources such as radiators and wood stoves or stored in unheated rooms.
Wood is a natural material and therefore no two pieces are alike. Small knots, visible growth spots and color variations are part of the natural appearance of wood. The parts of a piece of furniture are always assembled according to color and structure so that the piece of furniture is beautiful and complete.
