Wegner's CH101 Mid Century Modern Chair

Original features like down feather cushions, multi density foam, metal sinuous springs, a full 1/1/4 thick solid Hardwood Frame, Top Grain Aniline dyed leather and a polished solid stainless steel base. The Kardiel reproduction of the Wegner CH101 delivers on quality craftsmanship and ingredients. The design origins are iconic and the CH101 is stunning from the front, the back and sides. You can still purchase a licensed version of this original design for just over $5,000. If that is out of your budget, the Kardiel reproduction offers exceptional design with quality craftsmanship & materials at price within the budget of most. The CH101 is a classic modern sofa originally designed by mid century modernist Hans Wegner. Many of the current modern styles have "borrowed" design elements from Wegners signature CH100 series.

The body design of the CH101 Chair is minimal and sleek with clean lines. From the side, the wedge designed body of Amsterdam CH101 angles to some degree backwards with the back cushion following the same angle. The angle provides uniformity in design with cushion following frame and a natural pitch perfect seating platform results. The modernist cube design features independent cushions filled with a dense foam core for memory retention and topped with down feathers for softer seating comfort.

Inspired by Mid Century Modern Danish Design

An icon of mid century modern chair design, the Amsterdam CH101 chair is well known for its architectural Stainless steel full width base “platform” which effortlessly lifts the body from the floor. Wegner designed a low profile seat rail just under the cushions in order to add height to the stainless steel base legs. This creates the airy feel of the footprint of the CH101 Chair visually taking less space in the room.

A significant portion of the development cost of the CH101 is the Aniline dyed leather that covers the entire body from front to back. The solid stainless steel base and arm plates create a significant architectural element that is visible from the front, the sides and the back.

The seat cushion is affixed to the chair body providing a clean well kept appearance and features a multi-density foam core for memory retention. The seat cushion is then stuffed with down feathers. A richly comfortable seating experience results, an unusual trait from such a streamlined mid-century modern design. The CH101 Amsterdam Chair is a substantial modernist sofa design for a relatively small investment. From the solid ash wood frame, to the down feather stuffed cushions to the genuine metal spring system, the CH101 armchair is a recognized danish modern design.

Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather

A small percent of the world’s leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline dyes which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during every day use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.

100% Genuine Top Grain Premium Aniline Leather

Making up only 5% of the worlds leather supply Top Grain Aniline is the best quality, softest leather we offer. This premium leather is Aniline vat dyed with the color penetrating through to the back of the hide. Top Grain refers to the actual surface of the hide presents a natural leather appearance and touch you would expect.

This series is upholstered in premium Top Grain Aniline European leather. This is a significant upgrade in leather options. Top Grain is the actual surface of the cowhide. While no one knows the actual number, a small percentage of furniture sold today is upholstered in Premium Top Grain Aniline leather. Some claim as low as 5%. Aniline dying describes one of the two processes in which color is applied to the leather with the dye penetrating the leather and extending beyond the surface, into the leather itself. For modern furniture requiring a clean aesthetic, Top Grain Aniline Leather is both “liquid vat” (deep penetrating) and surface dyed to achieve the main color selection and to conceal uneven tones and blemishes in the hide. Top grain aniline is the softest leather and naturally breaths well. Because Top Grain refers to the actual surface of the animal hide it presents a natural leather appearance you would expect. While it is true that raw Top Grain Aniline absorbs spills easier, Furniture grade Top Grain leather features a stain resistant treatment making it exceptional for everyday lower maintenance use. Although rare, nothing wears, looks or feels better than premium Aniline Top Grain leather. Over time it patinas and becomes more comfortable versus wearing out.

“Split Grain” is the most common leather used on furniture. This reproduction has been upgraded to Top Aniline leather and does not use Split Grain leather. Nonetheless, this paragraph will help explain the difference in quality and price between the leather types. Split Grain is the underside of the hide that has been separated from the surface or “top” of the hide. While defined as actual leather, Split Grain leather does not have the natural surface grain of the top of the cowhide. A topical layer of insoluble pigment is applied to the surface of split grain leather, which is then stamped or “grain embossed” to imitate the surface appearance of actual leather. This topical layer contains the color that the leather will be.
