Description
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 (1952) 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.Fire retardantAll of our upholstered products are fire-treated inline with UK-FR legislation before entering the UKNeed a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

If your order cannot be delivered due to restricted access, you may request delivery to an alternative address within 2 months - please note that this will incur costs for storage and redelivery.
For items that cannot fit into the room of choice through conventional delivery means, we can deliver via platform hoist, ropes or crane with a surcharge. Our third-party fitters are trained to remove wooden and UPVC sash windows.

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.
Brand Profile
Carl Hansen and Son
An enchanting Danish brand that embeds a story of craftsmanship, timeless beauty and comfort into every piece of furniture. Carl Hansen & Søn maintains a strong focus on preserving Danish design classics while continuing to expand its iconic collection of quintessential furniture. Most notably, they heralded in the 1950s with a partnership with design legend Hans J. Wegner – resulting in iconic designs such as the Wishbone Chair and Wing Chair.
