Create a relaxed lounge atmosphere with the timeless design, exquisite craftsmanship, and natural materials of the CH280 modular sofa.

Carl Hansen & Søn presents the CH280 Modular Sofa, designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1980 – a piece that captivates with its refined functionality and timeless simplicity.

The sofa consists of three elements – an armrest section, a middle section and a footstool – which can be combined in every conceivable way. With its low seat and gently reclined backrest, the sofa invites both relaxed conversation and effortless comfort. Characteristically for Hans J. Wegner, the sofa has an exposed wooden frame that is not concealed by upholstery, while the backrest has slightly curved wooden slats that give the sofa a robust yet lightweight appearance. By using a simple coupling bracket, an unlimited number of modules can be connected lengthwise or at 90° to create your own personal configuration.
The cushions are upholstered by hand with removable textile covers.

Alongside the modular sofa, Carl Hansen & Søn is also launching another Hans J. Wegner design from 1980 – the CH086 Coffee Table. The minimalist table is crafted from solid oak and features two extension leaves with brushed stainless steel hinges, mounted on each side of the table. The extensions for the leaves are hidden underneath the tabletop, which is both practical and spacesaving, while it also ensures stability. The coffee table is available in three different heights.

Knud Erik Hansen, third generation owner of Carl Hansen & Søn, says: “Hans J. Wegner is held in high esteem by Carl Hansen & Søn, which is why we are thrilled to welcome the CH280 Modular Sofa and the CH086 Coffee Table into our collection. Both are incredibly versatile, and characterised by sublime craftsmanship, high functionality and a simple aesthetic.”

Both CH280 and CH086 are made by skilled cabinetmakers and upholsterers at Carl Hansen & Søn on Funen, Denmark.
