Carl Hansen & Søn CH110

CH110

The desk has a straightforward, cubistic design which has retained its contemporary look through the years. The extravagant desk is great for executive offices or in private homes. The characteristic design of the desk employs hand­polished, stainless steel legs and a wide wooden desktop in oak or walnut. The desk has many beautiful details, some visible some hidden, such as the long sleek drawers finished with dovetail joints, the flexible compartments inside the drawers and the stainless steel handles. Lock and key is included. Made from hardwood and stainless steel. 

This desk was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1970 as a part of a complete series of office furniture, including meeting and easy chairs, meeting and coffee tables, and sofas. The series was produced in limited quantities in the 1970s. It was out of production until 2008, when Carl Hansen & Son relaunched parts of the series in connection with the company's 100th anniversary ­ hence the series name "CH100". The CH110 desk was re­launched in 2011

Wegner’s office concept is accompanied by perfectly matching cubistic office chairs. These are the CH111, the CH112 and the CH113, manufactured with stainless steel and leather.

The series represents some of Wegner's very finest steel-framed furniture. The table is completely different to Wegner's previous designs; the tabletop is streamlined and rests lightly on shiny legs. Plus, the table's symmetrical drawers feature handmade mortise and tenon joints, and feature stand-out minimalist handles. 

Hans J. Wegner is widely considered to be one of the leading figures in 20th century furniture design - and a driving force in the “Danish Modern” movement that changed the way people looked at furniture in the 1950s and 1960s.
