Carl Hansen&Son

Carl Hansen & Son has for over than 100 years specialized in providing outstanding furniture craftsmanship that brings visionary design concepts to life. Their story began in 1908 when Danish cabinetmaker Carl Hansen opened a small furniture workshop on the Danish island of Funen. Since then, the company’s success has depended on two core ideas: an uncompromising commitment to the finest craftsmanship, and alliances with exceptional designers who continually reinvent and refine the concept of modern design. Carl Hansen & Son’s evolution has been deeply influenced by our long-term relationship with one of the greatest designers of all time: Hans J. Wegner. The creative partnership began in 1949, when Carl Hansen’s son Holger Hansen took a chance on the then-unknown designer, and Wegner developed a successful furniture series that included the now-iconic Wishbone Chair. This collaboration and the many that followed demonstrated what can be achieved when unprecedented design and uncompromising production come together.
