Carl Hansen & Søn

About

Founded in 1908 by Danish cabinetmaker Carl Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn began as a small furniture workshop on the island of Fyn. From the very beginning, the brand has been guided by an uncompromising commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and a belief in collaborating with the world’s most talented designers. More than a century later, these principles still underpin every piece in the Carl Hansen collection. The evolution of Carl Hansen & Søn has been shaped in no small part by its long-standing relationship with legendary designer Hans J. Wegner . This collaboration produced some of the most recognisable and enduring designs in modern furniture history. Today, Carl Hansen chairs are celebrated for their sculptural simplicity, refined proportions and outstanding build quality, all rooted in the traditions of Danish cabinetmaking. At Holloways of Ludlow, we have a long-standing admiration for Carl Hansen & Søn. The brand perfectly reflects our appreciation for thoughtful design, honest materials and traditional manufacturing skills. One of the most iconic designs of all time, the CH24 Wishbone Chair remains one of our best-selling pieces and is widely regarded as Hans J. Wegner’s most famous work. Carl Hansen dining chairs, in particular, are prized for their elegant lines, comfort and lasting durability – pieces designed to be used and enjoyed every day. Renowned across the world, Danish design is synonymous with quality and restraint, and Carl Hansen furniture epitomises the very best of Scandinavian living. Many designs in the collection are now considered mid-century classics, defining an era while remaining entirely relevant in contemporary interiors. Facts about Carl Hansen & Søn 1.
