CARL HANSEN CH53 Footstool - Hans J. Wegner created the CH53 footstool in 1966 and it clearly demonstrates his passion for both craftsmanship and everyday functionality. With a solid wood frame and a hand-woven paper cord seat, the footstool’s simple and elegant form makes it an ideal complement to the CH44 lounge chair, but is also elegant in its own right for the hallway, bedroom, or kitchen. The CH53 footstool is available in two heights, and the low version complements the CH44.
