Wegner](https://www.stylepark.com/en/designer/hans-j-wegner) ![CH_20](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_1410x940_crop_center-center_none/ch_20-1.jpg) [Home furniture](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/home-furniture) **›** [Seating furniture](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/seating-furniture) **›** [chairs](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/chairs) The CH20 is an attractive and simple stackable dining chair. The low back and horizontal seat makes it an excellent desk chair as well. At the time of its design, Hans J. Wegner experimented with new materials such as molded veneer, and the chair's seat is thus made from 11 layers of this material -­‐ giving it perfect stability. Available in solid oak and beech in a variety of finishes (soap, oil, lacquer, stain, paint). The seat is available upholstered in fabric or leather. Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1956, the chair was first introduced in 2005. ![Ch 20 6](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ch_20-6.jpg)![Ch 20 4](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ch_20-4.jpg) ![Ch 20 3](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ch_20-3.jpg)![Ch 20 5](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_697xAUTO_fit_center-center_none/ch_20-5.jpg) ![CH_20](https://www.stylepark.com/assets/transformations/manufacturers/c/carl-hansen-son/produkte/ch_20/_1410x940_crop_center-center_none/ch_20-2.jpg) - [Manufacturer's Product-Info](http://www.carlhansen.com/products/chairs/ch20/) - [Manufacturer's website](http://www.carlhansen.com) - [All products by Carl Hansen & Søn @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/products/manufacturer/carl-hansen-son) - [Carl Hansen & Søn @ Stylepark](https://www.stylepark.com/en/manufacturer/carl-hansen-son) Carl Hansen & Søn Related Articles [DESIGN Hardwoods, Hand-Made, Hansen 7/3/2023 Our author Claudia Simone Hoff paid a visit to Carl Hansen & Søn: In the factory on the Danish island of Funen she found out what is behind a classic furniture item such as the “Wishbone Chair” by Hans J.
