CH468 easy chair
Hans Wegner designed the CH 468 armchair in 1960, together with the CH 468 and the Ox Chair, and the affinity between these easy chairs is quite visible. In 1968, the CH 468 have been presented in the Danish magazine Mobilia as the AP68.
Only two prototypes of CH 468 were identified in the world until its launch in 2010. One of them was in the Studio Hans J. Wegner. The relaunch has been conducted in close collaboration between Carl Hansen & Son and the Studio Hans J. Wegner, using the prototype, drawings and scale models made by Hans Wegner.
CH 468 sports a look all round, highlighted by the armrests and wide headrest, which contrasts with the delicacy of its slender metal legs. The back is composed by three parts which respectively provide support to the back, shoulders and head, giving excellent comfort.
The inner structure of the CH 468 chair is in wood. The rounded upper part of the back made in form-pressed wood, one of the largest in contemporary furniture, makes it especially stable.
It is amazing to think that the CH 468, which embodies the essence of Danish design furniture, has waited 50 years to be born!
