"Being able to change positions in a chair has always been a foundation of Wegner's ergonomics; designing a chair that combines form and function so beautifully is Wegner's genius." -Knud Erik Hansen

The CH446 footstool was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1958 for the CH401 chair. It has a light appearance, inspite of its solid-wood interior frame, with tubular stainless steel legs that will last for generations. The footstool is an ideal match for Wegner's CH401 lounge chair and his two iconic lounge chairs, the Wing Chair and the Oculus Chair.

Produced using Hans Wegner's original drawings with the original construction and materials techniques - including solid beech frames and hand-sewn piping. Please call the hive showroom with any questions: 1-866-663-4483.

Hans Wegner

Hans Jørgensen Wegner’s (1914 - 2007) high-quality and thoughtful work contributed to the international popularity of mid-century Danish design. His style is often described as Organic Functionality, a modernist school with emphasis on functionality, arising primarily in Scandinavian countries. In his lifetime, he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass production, with many recognizable icons among them. Born to cobbler Peter M. Wegner, he worked as a child apprentice to Master cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. With an affinity for wood, he attended the Danish School of Arts and Crafts and the Architectural Academy in Copenhagen. In 1936, he began studies at what is now The Danish Design School, with O. Mølgaard Nielsen as teacher.

A workshop in Odense, Denmark in 1908, was the birthplace of the Carl Hansen company. With a fast reputation for quality work, Carl Hansen confidently took on large projects like dining room sets and bedroom suites. However, Hansen eventually learned to capitalize on scaled-back versions of his popular sellers, realizing that their strongest asset was its hand craftsmanship and rationality. Carl Hansen invited Hans Wegner to create designs in 1949, launching a mutually beneficial relationship bringing success to the company and exposure to the young Wegner. Wegner was still relatively unknown, but soon gained wide acclaim that continues to today.
