Product Information
Description
Created in 1950 by Hans J Wegner, the CH23 dining chair is an early example of the designer’s unique style. All clean, organic contours, it is, at first glance, deceptively simple. Look closely, however, and you'll notice an array of texturally intriguing details, from the elegant cruciform cover caps in the backrest to the double-woven seat and arched rear legs. As relevant today as it was then, it can be understood as the embodiment of pared-back Scandinavian style.

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
Designer Profile
Hans J Wegner
Where to begin with Hans? As one of the great-grandfathers of Danish modernism, he was responsible for some of the most iconic chair designs of all time. When pushed on how he created styles like the bestselling Wishbone Chair, he described it as a continuous process of simplification. A search, if you will, for the purest design possible. Today, his archives are carefully guarded and shared at heritage Scandinavian brands such as Carl Hansen & Son and Fredericia.
