Customize your CH33 dining chair with wooden seat – Carl Hansen & Søn

The CH33 is a dining chair with pure, flowing lines. Its slightly curved backrest, composed of delicate horizontal bars, supports the back with refined simplicity. The solid wood structure, combined with a seat available in wood or upholstered, offers a balance between minimalism and comfort. The tapered legs, typical of Wegner, give it a visual lightness.

Materials 

It is made of solid wood, often oak or walnut, with a variety of finishes (oiled, soap-finished or lacquered). The seat can be made of wood veneer for a sleek look or covered in fabric or leather for added softness and comfort.

Comfort 

The ergonomic backrest and well-proportioned seat provide pleasant support, even for long periods of sitting, making the CH33 a chair that is both functional and aesthetic.

Historical context

Introduced in 1957, the CH33 reflects the evolution of Wegner's style at the time, with a more modernist and refined approach compared to his organic designs of the 1940s and 1950s, such as the CH24. Produced by Carl Hansen & Søn until the 1960s, it then disappeared from the catalogue before being reintroduced in 2012. This relaunch responded to the growing demand for authentic mid-century pieces, while highlighting the quality craftsmanship that characterises the brand.

Heritage

The CH33 is now prized for its versatility and timeless design. It fits in equally well with modern and classic interiors, bringing a touch of discreet sophistication. Its light silhouette and balanced proportions make it an ideal chair for design enthusiasts looking for both beauty and practicality. True to Wegner's legacy, each chair is handmade in Denmark, perpetuating traditional craftsmanship.
