Story
Designed with the CH110 Desk
The CH111 was designed alongside the CH110 desk, and the manufacturer counts the series among Wegner's finest steel-framed furniture.
A Twisted Rear Leg
The rear leg is turned through 90 degrees to fit into the upholstered backrest. Welding the armrest onto an extended rear leg would have been easier, the manufacturer says, but Wegner never compromised on quality or aesthetics.
