Some more Wegner in the house. The CH25 Easy chair in European oak. Designed in 1950, this was the first chair in which any Danish designer started using what became known as Danish cord for upholstery. Previously sea grass and split cane were the preferred choices for weaves. Fun fact, this chair requires almost 400mts of cord and stakes a skilled weaved ten hours to complete. This particularly chair was manufactured in 1968. Click the pic for a 🔗 to more details. ❤️
