Know before you buy
The paper cord is exceptionally durable and treated to resist dirt and moisture. Over time, it will naturally soften and conform to your body shape while maintaining its structural integrity.
Yes, the chair is designed with an ergonomic recline that supports the back and neck. The woven paper cord provides a slight, natural tension that offers a supportive yet flexible feel, making it well-suited for extended relaxation.
Oak is a dense, light-toned wood that offers a classic, textured grain, while walnut is slightly softer with a rich, dark chocolate hue that develops a beautiful patina as it ages. Both are equally sturdy and provide the same structural support.
The paper cord should be kept away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading and should be vacuumed occasionally with a soft brush attachment. The wood frame can be wiped down with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
Yes, the seat and back are woven by hand, and the cord can be professionally re-woven by an authorized Carl Hansen & Søn craftsman. This ensures the chair can be restored to its original condition after many years of use.
