Original Product Description:

Celebrating 70 years of iconic design, the Carl Hansen & Son CH78 Mama Bear Chair is a timeless masterpiece originally introduced in 1954. Designed by Hans J. Wegner as a lighter alternative to the bulky lounge chairs of the era, this chair merges elegance and comfort in perfect harmony. To mark its anniversary in 2024, a new poetic upholstery palette has been unveiled, featuring the rich Umber tone, a soft, woollen fabric inspired by Wegner’s early watercolour sketches and the warm, earthy shades of nature. The geometric shapes of the upholstery and the chair''s softly supportive curves make it a design that both captivates and comforts, offering a cosy embrace. Crafted from FSC-certified solid wood, the CH78 Mama Bear Chair is as durable as it is beautiful. Its sculptural silhouette is designed for stability and comfort, with optional features like a headrest for added relaxation. Wegner’s genius lies in his ability to balance form and function, drawing on his background as a cabinetmaker to create pieces that honour both craftsmanship and the natural qualities of the materials used. The CH78 embodies the essence of Danish Modern design, blending formalistic minimalism with a softness that makes it inviting for everyday use. With its 70th-anniversary edition, this iconic chair continues to be a cherished statement piece in any interior, marrying history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort.
