Carl Hansen CH290 Lounge Chair
Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Hans J. Wegner, 1962
The Plank Chair
The CH290 Lounge Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1962 and has a quality that is immediately apparent: it is a Wegner design that has been allowed to breathe. Affectionately known as the Plank Chair — a nod to its distinctive slatted backrest — the dynamically angled legs and wide armrests are precise and considered, unmistakably his, but the removable upholstered seat and backrest cushions soften the frame into something genuinely relaxed. The slatted backrest, unique to the CH290 Series, adds a lightness and visibility that a fully upholstered back cannot achieve.
Craftsmanship & Finish
The FSC®-certified oak frame conceals nothing — the carpentry is visible and honest throughout, in the Wegner tradition. Hand-finished to a smooth surface, it enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The seat and back cushions are upholstered in your choice of Carl Hansen fabric or leather, with removable covers for easy care. Beautiful from every angle, and comfortable enough to stay in long after you planned to get up.
Available in a wide range of Carl Hansen fabrics and leathers, and in five oak finishes — Oak Soap, Oak Oil, Oak White Oil, Oak Black Lacquer, and Oak Lacquer. Contact our team if you would like fabric or leather samples.
- Dimensions — W76 × D83 × H76cm (seat height 42cm)
- Frame — FSC®-certified solid oak; available in Oak Soap, Oak Oil, Oak White Oil, Oak Black Lacquer, and Oak Lacquer
- Seat & back — Upholstered cushions in removable fabric or leather covers
- Upholstery — Wide selection of Carl Hansen fabrics and leathers
Also available as the CH291 Highback Lounge Chair. Pairs with the CH290F Footstool. Part of the Carl Hansen CH290 Series.
