Rich in tradition: China Chair by Fritz Hansen

Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1944, the China Chair stands out in the Fritz Hansen collection as the only chair made entirely of solid wood. In his design, the designer was inspired by the timeless aesthetics of 17th and 18th century Chinese design. In his modern interpretation of ancient Chinese chairs, Wegner unleashes his talent as a wood craftsman and his flair for expressive, sculptural functionalism.

The designer took many years to perfect his China Chair. As a result, a number of designs were created, with this version being the only one to prevail and is still produced by Fritz Hansen today. In 2008, the chair was introduced in a new black version.

The classic mix of wood and leather reinforces the traditional character of the design. Whether warm cherry or black ash, the China Chair adds a high-end aesthetic to office environments as well as dining and lounge areas. The included leather seat cushion provides the necessary comfort.

Hans J. Wegner - representative of Danish Modernism

Hans J. Wegner is a world-renowned cabinetmaker and furniture designer and one of the main representatives of "Danish Modern". Wegner is a meticulous and admired craftsman and his furniture is a combination of good, solid details rooted in the tradition of cabinetmaking that he holds in high esteem.
