Carl Hansen & Søn put Hans J. Wegner's chaise CH20 Elbow into production for the first time in 2005. CH20 quickly became a modern design classic and won the ICFF editors' prize in New York that same year. The chaise CH20 features a steam-curved back made from a single piece of solid wood. This distinctive backrest provides elbow and back support, while allowing a variety of sitting positions. Unique in its kind, the moulded frame under the seat CH20 provides optimum stability as well as a light, buoyant expression.
