The Windsor Chair was designed in 1938 by the Danish architect and cabinetmaker Frits Henningsen. In continuous production at Carl Hansen & Søn until 2003, the majestic chair is now reissued with modern comfort in mind.
Precision shaped from solid FSC™-certified oak and sanded by hand, the high-backed chair is a fusion of a dining chair and a lounge chair. The Windsor Chair’s clean lines belie its skilled craftsmanship, which requires multiple carpentry techniques to make. Now offered with a leather seat cushion for added comfort, the majestic design is light in its expression thanks to its open spindle frame and gently curved back, seat, and armrests. Each unique chair is not only beautiful to look at but also a distinguished example of traditional craftsmanship refined over centuries.

Frits Henningsen (1889-1965) was known as an uncompromising designer. He viewed quality craftsmanship as the most important element of his work, making it his focus when developing new furniture. Unlike other cabinetmakers, Henningsen always created his own furniture pieces - although his greatest desire was to be recognized as a cabinetmaker and not as a furniture designer.
