The CH621 Swivel Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1948 and is the first swivel chair in the Carl Hansen & Søn collection. Ideal for the home office, the CH621 features an ergonomic, industrial, brushed stainless steel frame set on five stainless steel and rubber (TPE) castors, with an FSC™-certified oak seat, armrests, and backrest which can be upholstered in a choice of leather or fabric.
Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is considered one of the most creative, innovative, and prolific designers of all times, renowned for his precision, great insight into craftsmanship and uncompromising approach to design. Wegner designed nearly 500 chairs in his lifetime and was often referred to as the master of the chair.
Home Office Redefined
With an almost balletic stance, the CH621 Swivel Chair is an elegant balance of precise ergonomics and modern aesthetics. Throughout Hans J. Wegner’s prolific career designing over 500 chairs, only a select few were swivel chairs, making the CH621 a rare and coveted collector’s item. Aside from his deep appreciation of wood and traditional carpentry that shaped his early designs, Wegner also loved to explore metal work, finding ways to seamlessly merge organic and human-made materials into his sculptural, organic designs. Created in 1948, the CH621 Swivel Chair conveys a contemporary aesthetic that belies the 75 years since its original release. As one of Denmark’s first mid-century modern designers to recognise the importance of ergonomics, Wegner collaborated with doctors and physiologists to determine the ideal sitting posture and lumbar support for supreme comfort. Relaunched by Carl Hansen & Søn, the chair features a sleek, industrial, brushed stainless steel frame, softened by an upholstered FSC™-certified oak seat, backrest and armrests. The height is adjustable with a modern gas lift cylinder and lever mechanism, and offers flexibility on five castors, instead of the original four, to comply with modern requirements. An elegant choice for a home office, the CH621 Swivel Chair can be used with an office desk or a wall desk.
