Carl Hansen & Son OW149 Chair

The OW149 Colonial Chair, designed by Ole Wanscher in 1959, is one of his most recognised works. The design combines a respect for classic furniture traditions with modern functionality, achieving both elegance and durability. Its slender frame is crafted with precise bracing that ensures stability despite its refined proportions.

The chair’s armrests curve upward and then taper down, a distinct Wanscher detail, while the back legs angle slightly outwards to provide balance and a graceful silhouette. Constructed in solid wood with a handwoven seat, the Colonial Chair pairs traditional craftsmanship with understated design. It is also available with the OW149F footstool for additional comfort.
