Carl Hansen Ow149 Colonial Chair Oak Smoke Colored Oil, Re Wool 0218

The OW149 Colonial Chair was designed by Ole Wanscher in 1959. Wanscher wanted to create furniture that paid tribute to classic conservative trends, but could also stand the test of time. He achieved this balance with the design of the Colonial Chair, which remains his most famous design to this day. As a minimalist, Wanscher had a penchant for the slim and sophisticated. But despite its narrow dimensions, the Colonial Chair is very stable. Its strength lies in the carefully designed strut. The design's sophisticated, slightly curved armrests rise to a certain point before leading back down – a trademark of Wanscher. The front and hind legs are made of round wood, with the hind legs gently arching outwards for additional stability and a more refined result. Fifteen years later, Wanscher designed the matching Colonial Sofa and Colonial Coffee Table, and the Colonial Series was born. The Colonial Chair is available with the matching OW149F footstool for even more comfort.
