Carl Hansen & Søn CH78 Lounge Chair Mama Bear

CH78 Mama Bear Lounge chair | Carl Hansen & Son

Affectionately known as the Mama Bear Chair, the CH78 Lounge Chair by Hans J. Wegner was originally introduced in 1954 as an extension
of his CH71 Chair design. An antidote to the often-heavy lounge chairs of his time, Mama Bear’s sculptural silhouette
is defined by a series of inviting curves that offer up a warm embrace.
A lesson in form and function, craftsmanship and courage, the CH78 Lounge Chair, balances soft,
supportive curves with dynamic geometric shapes. The result is a sculptural piece of functional design that is equally at home in a living room
as it is in a hotel lobby.
Frame, armrests, and legs are crafted for stability from solid FSC™-certified wood.
An optional headrest in leather or corresponding fabric completes the design. This neckpiece is sold separately.

Hans Wegner Danish Design

The creative and innovative mind of the legendary furniture designer Hans J. Wegner conceived the CH78 Mama Bear Chair in 1954.
The iconic design is now reissued by Carl Hansen & Søn, as a tribute to the man often referred to as the master of the chair.
Among Danish furniture designers, Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative, innovative and prolific.
Wegner created almost 500 chairs in his lifetime – many of them considered masterpieces.
He is probably best known for his iconic Wishbone Chair which has been in continuous production since 1950.
