CH25 armchair - walnut

The CH25 armchair from Carl Hansen & Søn is a masterpiece of Scandinavian design that impresses with its simple elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Created by the renowned designer Hans J. Wegner, this armchair perfectly combines form and function. The version in fine walnut wood, combined with the woven paper cord, adds a touch of natural beauty and timeless aesthetics to any room.

An outstanding feature of the CH25 armchair is the use of the innovative paper cord, a material originally developed during the Second World War as a substitute for seaweed. Wegner recognized the potential of this material and used it with visionary skill. The cord is not only exceptionally durable but also non-stretch, making it ideal for the sophisticated weaving technique used for the backrest and seat. This technique, which resembles an intricate weaving pattern, requires the skills of an experienced craftsman who needs around 10 hours and about 400 meters of cord to complete the armchair.

Since its introduction in 1950, the CH25 armchair has established itself as a true classic and is still in continuous production today. Its timeless design and meticulous workmanship make it a coveted piece of furniture that will last for generations. Whether in a modern loft or a traditional living room - the CH25 armchair attracts everyone's attention with its unmistakable style while offering maximum seating comfort.

The CH25 armchair in walnut is not just a piece of furniture, but a work of art that embodies the ideals of Scandinavian design: Clarity, durability and functional aesthetics. Every detail, from the velvety surface of the walnut wood to the precise woven structure of the cord, testifies to the dedication and skill that has gone into its manufacture. A piece of furniture that is more than the sum of its parts - a real statement for any 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.
The furniture is beautiful and complete. Color and texture can vary from one piece of furniture to another.

Paper cord

The paper cords used at Carl Hansen & Søn are made from sustainable, FSC-certified materials. We use two different colors of paper cords: natural and black. The natural paper cord is made from unbleached paper while the black cord is dyed.

Normal cleaning and maintenance
Paper cord typically requires little or no maintenance as the durable paper cord is designed to last for years. If you want to clean the seat, you can wipe it with a well-wrung soft cloth and a neutral, colorless soap solution. It is not recommended to do this too often as it may cause unnecessary wear and tear on the paper cord. The paper cord has a thin layer of wax that prevents staining. However, discoloration of the paper cord can occur if strong liquids, e.g. E.g. red wine, fruit juice or strongly colored food can be spilled on the cord.
