Carl Hansen CH410 Peters Childs Chair
Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Hans J. Wegner, 1944
A christening gift that became a classic
Peter's Chair began as a personal gesture. During World War II, with quality goods scarce across Europe, Hans J. Wegner needed a christening gift for Peter — the son of his friend and fellow furniture designer Børge Mogensen. Rather than settle for what was available, Wegner made something himself. The result was a small chair in untreated beech, conceived as a life-size three-dimensional puzzle that a child could assemble and disassemble without tools — furniture and toy in one.
What began as a gift has remained in production ever since, a testament to how well the idea holds up. The chair is simple, robust, and genuinely engaging: the kind of object that earns its place in a child's room not by being decorative, but by being used. It pairs naturally with the CH411 Peter's Table, designed by Wegner as its companion piece.
- Dimensions — W42 × D32 × H47cm (seat height 26cm)
- Material — FSC™-certified solid beech, untreated
- Assembly — tool-free, designed as a 3D puzzle
Please note: Solid wood is a living material that gives and absorbs moisture from its surroundings. To prevent cracks, please avoid sudden changes in humidity and temperature. Cracks caused by desiccation are not covered under warranty.
