designed by Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner designed the China Chair in 1944. He drew inspiration from Chinese furniture of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, reinterpreting it as a distinctive Danish design. The curved backrest flowing into the armrests, slender vertical elements and precise joints reveal his experience as a cabinetmaker.

Model 4283 is made of solid clear lacquered cherry or black coloured ash. A reversible leather seat cushion with leather buttons is included. Choose the wood and a leather colour from the Aura, Grace and Natural collections in the configurator. The chair measures 55 cm in width and depth, has a seat height of 45 cm and is intended for indoor use. Under its current terms, Fritz Hansen provides a 20-year warranty on standard China Chair configurations.
