Details

For 58 years, Danish designer Hans Wegner conceived memorable, comfortable furniture for Carl Hansen & Søn, the same company that continues to produce his authentic works today. Known as the “chair-maker of chair-makers,” he was a prolific designer with a unique ability to bring an elegant lightness to sturdy, durable furniture that continues to be unmatched. Affectionately known as the Mama Bear Chair, the CH78 Chair (1954) was first introduced by Wegner as a variant of his CH71 Chair. An antidote to the often heavy chairs of his time, Mama Bear has a sculptural silhouette defined by a series of inviting curves that offer a warm, welcoming embrace, with a frame, armrests, and legs crafted for stability and sustainability from solid FSC-certified wood. Made in Denmark.

Modern armchair with a sculptural silhouette.
Inviting curves comfortably embrace the sitter.
Deep, pitched seat.
