As much a comfortable seat as an entrancing source of play. Crafted by Hans J. Wegner as a christening gift for a friend, the CH410 Peter’s Chair puts its function in the users’ hands as an elegant, no-tools-needed design. The celebrated Wegner brought a design approach centered on simplicity and functionality. With child safety in mind, this chair’s puzzle-like segments feature smooth, rounded corners. Each segment slots into each other in a unified wood construction. Once its puzzle is solved, one is treated to a comfortable seat that invites a formal seating posture.

When he founded his company in 1908 in Odense, Denmark, Carl Hansen was determined to prove that high-quality craftsmanship and efficient mass production could work well together. To this day, Carl Hansen & Son furniture--mostly the continually popular Danish Modern designs of the 1930s through the 1960s--is swiftly produced by hand, combining the best materials possible with traditional woodworking techniques and the latest manufacturing technologies.
