FH429 Signature Chair
The FH429 Signature chair
The FH429 Signature Chair was designed by Frits Henningsen, a cabinetmaker who held his profession to very high standards. Henningsen always manufactured his own designs and often began by creating a small model – in this case, using modelling clay and toothpicks. The frame was then made in his Copenhagen workshop, undergoing months of testing and adjustments before he was content.
After the lounge chair was completed in 1954, fewer than 20 pieces were produced. Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the design in 2015.
The simplicity of Henningsen’s work increased over the years. The Signature Chair becomes his purest, most pared-down design. His interest in achieving comfort and elegance through the use of graceful, curved lines is apparent in the final design. Its soft, inviting curves and floating carved armrests create a simple, organic form.
Finish: Oiled walnut and SIF 95 leather (leather group C) (full grain, pure aniline, naked and natural surface).
The FH429 is also available to order in oak with various different fabrics and leathers, as well as with a matching footstool, please enquire.
