CH401 Lounge Chair-Variant Leather Thor 325 by Carl Hansen & Son

The CH401 lounge chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1958, is part of the minimalist Kastrup Series that is still in use in the inviting interior of Copenhagen Airport to this day.

The simple, tubular-steel design of the lounge chair proves that upholstered furniture does not need to be large or bulky. Wegner covered the mechanisms by which the upholstered fabric is attached to the frame with a slender, angled element of stainless steel, creating a clean and simple expression. The design is not only aesthetically pleasing – the CH401 lounge chair construction is also exceptionally durable for long-term use.

The CH401 lounge chair’s combined backrest and seat are upholstered in either fabric or leather. The Kastrup Series also includes elegant sofas in different sizes.
