CH78 Mama Bear Chair Special Edition by Carl Hansen & Søn

CH78 Mama Bear Chair Special Edition

Carl Hansen & Søn

Designed by Hans J Wegner. Affectionately known as the Mama Bear Chair, the CH78 Lounge Chair was originally introduced in 1954 as a design antidote to the often-heavy lounge chairs of the time.

In 2024, Carl Hansen & Søn celebrates the chair's 70th anniversary by offering a new poetic upholstery colour palette, inspired by some of Hans Wegner's early watercolour sketches. The upholstery, Umber, is a soft, woollen fabric inspired by the aesthetics of earthy brown pigment, and the organic shapes of the chair itself.
Available until January 31st, 2025 only.

An optional neck pillow in matching fabric can be added to complete the look.

Carl Hansen & Søn is the largest manufacturer of furniture designed by Hans J. Wegner and also produces outstanding furniture classics by some of Denmark's most influential architects such as Mogens Koch, Kaare Klint and Ole Wanscher.

True to its founding values, it is Carl Hansen & Søn's ambition to make furniture of the highest quality and beauty with respect for sustainable design, materials and more than 100 years tradition of craftsmanship.
