Wegner in 1958, is a notable piece from the minimalist kastrup series, which continues to be in use in the inviting interior of copenhagen airport to this day. Wegner's design for the ch401 lounge chair demonstrates a mastery of minimalist aesthetics. The chair's simple tubular-steel frame challenges the notion that upholstered furniture must be large or bulky. Wegner ingeniously concealed the mechanisms for attaching the upholstered fabric to the frame with a slender, angled element made of stainless steel, resulting in a clean and uncluttered appearance. Not only is the ch401 lounge chair aesthetically pleasing, but it is also exceptionally durable for long-term use. Wegner's attention to detail and choice of high-quality materials ensure that the chair remains sturdy and reliable over time. The lounge chair features a combined backrest and seat that can be upholstered in either fabric or leather, offering a range of options for different design preferences and interior settings. With its timeless design and functionality, the ch401 lounge chair has found a place in the modern interior of copenhagen airport, where it continues to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for travelers.
