Story
Drawn for the CH401
The manufacturer says Wegner originally designed the footstool in 1958 for the CH401 chair. The page also calls it an ideal match for the CH401 and for two further lounge chairs of his, the Wing Chair and the Oculus Chair.
Light Legs, Solid Core
The manufacturer points to the contrast between the stool's light appearance and its solid-wood interior frame, and says the tubular stainless steel legs will last for generations.
