Carl Hansen & Søn - CH327 Dining Table - Teak Campaign

In the celebration of Hans J. Wegner’s 110th birthday in 2024, we commend Wegner’s impressive design legacy and long collaboration with Carl Hansen & Søn by shedding light on some of his most iconic furniture designs.

Wegner’s curiosity for materials and a deeply rooted understanding of the characteristics of wood led him to create a whole new typology of furniture designs that later made his name to become synonymous with Danish modern design. Historically, teak was commonly used by Wegner to make some of the mix chairs in 1950-1960s. Teak wood is characterized by its high strength, stability and its colour has a lively appearance with dark stripes that follow the growth rings. This vibrant wood complements Wegner’s iconic furniture pieces and is only sourced from responsible partners carrying a FSCTM-certification.
