Carl Hansen & Son OW149 Chair | Holloways of Ludlow

The OW149 Colonial Chair, designed by Ole Wanscher in 1959, is one of his most recognised works. The design combines a respect for classic furniture traditions with modern functionality, achieving both elegance and durability. Its slender frame is crafted with precise bracing that ensures stability despite its refined proportions.

The chair’s armrests curve upward and then taper down, a distinct Wanscher detail, while the back legs angle slightly outwards to provide balance and a graceful silhouette. Constructed in solid wood with a handwoven seat, the Colonial Chair pairs traditional craftsmanship with understated design. It is also available with the OW149F footstool for additional comfort.

The Carl Hansen OW149 Colonial Chair by Ole Wanscher combines a refined wooden frame with upholstered seating to create a comfortable lounge chair. Its slender construction and curved details give the design an understated appearance suited to living rooms, reading areas and contemporary interiors. The chair works well as an individual accent piece or alongside other timber furniture.
