by Richard Guilfoyle

Lovers of Danish design furniture (danska design möbler) and many others who simply love comfort, elegance and functionality know the name of designer Hans J Wegner who died in February of 2007 at the ripe old age of 92. Wegner designed over 500 chairs, but only one was a rope chair, the Wegner CH 25 chair.

In general Danish furniture (danska möbler) is recognized for clean lines and simple elegance in design, and Wegner's works personify this styling. The Wegner CH 25 is a classic profile armchair, one that is easily recognized as this specific model, but also as a Wegner design. It comes in many wood types, and with a timeless design it remains desirable for years after purchase.

The Wegner ch is an example of a finely manufactured chair. Attention is paid in respects to it's engineering. Distributing a person's weight to the front legs of the chair attains stability. Another feature is in the pleasant appearance. The weave of the rope seat and back form a beautiful design.

The rope is available in colors that you can match to your interior decor, while the wood that is most commonly used is an oak. Since these chairs are light, and not too large, they are easily moved about giving greater flexibility to your room decor. They are also quite durable for a fine armchair, thus you get a good value, despite the relative expense of the Wegner ch.

The Wegner CH 25 is generally valued at approximately $2,000. This may seem expensive, but there is more to this chair than dollars and cents. This chair is a classic and if it's taken care of properly, its value will only go up. It looks like a traditional wicker chair except far more durable and considerably more stylish.
