CH88P

A chair with organic, soft forms

Carl Hansen . reissued the CH88 P in 2014 to mark the 100th birthday of designer Hans J. Wegner. Until then, the iconic chair had existed only as a prototype, yet its form was known far beyond Denmark’s borders. With the CH88 P, Carl Hansen has created a chair whose design language is characteristic of the designer: Wegner drew inspiration from organic, soft forms for this classic, designed in 1955, which he transformed into a timeless and iconic design.

Backrest made of steam-bent wood

The CH88 P is available in many different versions, allowing it to be used in a wide variety of settings, both in terms of its appearance and its functional possibilities. The distinctive backrest made of steam-bent wood not only supports the back but also provides a natural resting place for the arms thanks to its gently curved ends.

A Classic Chair Reimagined

The oval-shaped seat shell of the CH88P rests on a steel frame with straight legs. This unique combination of materials, paired with a minimalist design language, creates a chair that appears light, blending natural forms with technical precision. Thanks to its stackable design, the reissue of the Carl Hansen CH88P an additional advantage. Carl Hansen ’s classic chair is available in beech or oak in a variety of finishes. The frame is offered in stainless steel, black (powder-coated), and chrome. The seat shell can be ordered with various upholstery or leather covers upon request.
