OW149 Colonial Chair
Our best-selling lounge chair, the Colonial Chair designed by Ole Wanscher, produced by Carl Hansen. This chair has a slightly higher seat height than standard at 46cm high, making it especially good for anyone with back issues.
The OW149 Colonial Chair was designed by Ole Wanscher in 1959. Wanscher wished to create furniture that paid tribute to classic conservative trends but also stood the test of time. He achieved this balance with the design of the Colonial Chair, and it remains his most famous design to this day. As a minimalist, Wanscher had a preference for the slim and refined. Yet despite its slender dimensions, the Colonial Chair is very stable. Its strength lying in the carefully designed bracing. The design’s sophisticated, slightly curved armrests rise to a point before taking a turn downward – a trademark Wanscher feature. The front and back legs are made of roundwood timber, with the back legs curving gently outward for added stability and a more refined result. A beautiful hidden feature is the woven cane seat support, not immediately noticeable.
Available to order in many types and finishes of wood and also in a huge array of fabrics and leathers.
Models shown here:
Soaped oak & Kvadrat blue-grey re-wool 0768
