*Price valid for the classic version with frame in soap oak finishing and cushions upholstered in fabric cat. 1 (cod. OW149).
Designed by Ole Wanscher in 1949, the OW149 Colonial Chair by Carl Hansen & Søn is a splendid example of traditional Scandinavian design. It is characterized by a classic shape, destined to never get old, and embellished with refined details destined not to be easily noticed at first glance: first of all the peculiar shape of the armrests, which point upwards and then abruptly fold and reconnect at the base in a sharp curve that is the distinctive stylistic element of much of Wanscher's production. The wide variety of finishes, with bases in light woods that give it a more naturalistic look and others in darker woods that make it more luxurious, make the Colonial Chair an extremely versatile armchair. The armchair can also be associated with the OW149F pouf, coordinated with it, in order to make the seat even more comfortable.

Carl Hansen & Søn was founded in 1908 on the Danish island of Funen, under the aegis of the eponymous cabinetmaker Carl Hansen. Since its foundation, the small cabinetmaking workshop has experienced rapid success due to the high quality craftsmanship of its furniture as well as the foresight of its founder, responsible for the establishment of many fruitful collaborations with world-renowned designers.The growth of Carl Hansen & Son was deeply influenced by the long-term collaboration with one of the greatest designers of all time: Hans J. Wegner. This creative synergy began in 1949, when Holger Hansen, son of Carl Hansen, attempted the fate with the unknown designer. From that moment,Wegner designed a series of successful furniture, including the now iconic Wishbone Chair.Read more
Designed by
Ole Wanscher
Ole Wanscher (1903-1985) was one of the key figures in the history of Danish design. Son of an art historian and himself the author of appreciated texts on the history of furniture, Wanscher directed his attention above all to the past and to the types of furniture of the past. It was a design attitude taken up by his master Kaare Klint, who guided the studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and who accompanied him in the first planning stages, making him work for a few years in his studio. Unlike Klint, Ole Wanscher (who would later inherit his mentor's chair at the Royal Academy, from 1955 to 1973) however was not interested in using period forms as a starting point for a personal expressive research that looked at modern criteria of standardization: Wanscher's poetics rather envisaged a revival of period models – above all dating back to XIII century England and Ancient Egypt, periods from which he drew the greatest inspiration – both in appearance and in techniques, trying however to perfect them to maximize comfort and aesthetic performance. His creations thus became refined cabinet-making exercises made of precious materials and intended above all for an elite clientele; the most iconic of them are now reproduced by the Carl Hansen & Søn brand.
