Classic Design for Modern Living

Known as the 'Master of the Chair' with around 500 designs to his name, Hans J. Wegner was fascinated by the rocking chair. Through his meticulous approach to design, stripping it back to the very essence of comfort and functionality, he arrived at this captivating lounge chair for the modern age after years of refinement. Designed in 1965, the CH45 Rocking Chair is part of a larger series designed by Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn, including the CH44 Lounge Chair, the CH46 and CH47 Dining Chairs and the CH53 Stool which are still in production today. This modern chair carries the elegance of Nordic simplicity referencing the Shaker era, featuring a reclined ladder-back backrest design and envelope woven paper cord seat that echoes through the other designs of the series. Perfectly proportioned, the CH45 Rocking Chair has a dynamic expression for effortless sitting, rocking and rising.
