23-10-2008 Carl Hansen’s centennial



Carl Hansen & Son A/S celebrates its centennial by launching a number of limited edition pieces of renowned Wegner furniture.

 

In terms of products, Carl Hansen & Søn has decided to brand itself as a consummate Wegner specialist and through a close working relationship with Marianne Wegner, who manages her father’s copious collection of drawings, the company has carried on a successful series of relaunches of selected models. Today, the collection comprises around 35 chairs and 15 tables and the company intends to launch new products every year.

The centennial will be celebrated on 28 October by launching a number of limited edition models of some of the furniture. This will involve 250 special editions of the CH07 shell chair and 100 special sets of the CH445 Wing Chair with accompanying CH446 stool.

The special centennial edition of the CH07 shell chair is made using zebrano wood veneer.
