CH56 | Bar Stool – Carl Hansen & Sons

Designed by
Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner designed the bar stool, CH56, in 1985. It was created with solid wood legs, an upholstered leather seat and a stainless-steel ring. The CH56 bar stool creates a welcoming atmosphere in the kitchen, the bar or in a restaurant with its clean look. The stool is robust and sturdy with its 4 slightly angled legs. The stainless-steel ring, holding the legs together, provides stability and a place to rest the occupant’s feet. The stool’s stable construction is well thought out regarding stability, and typical of Hans J. Wegner, it features legs that are thickest at the joint with the ring narrowing towards the floor and the seat. The bar stool also comes in a lower version, CH58. CH56 is designed to stand next to a bar whereas the lower version, CH58, is more suitable next to a kitchen counter.
