in celebration of the 100th anniversary of hans J. Wegner’s birth, Carl hansen & Søn is launching a limited edition furniture collection in collaboration with Paul Smith and maharam.
the collection, personally selected by Paul Smith, reimagines some of Wegner’s most iconic, world-renowned works – including his Shell Chair and Wing Chair – through the use of the new Big Stripe and Stripes designed by Paul Smith in collaboration with maharam.
Big Stripe and Stripes by Paul Smith are both woven of worsted wool, and they reflect two different approaches to rhythm, proportion, scale, and density.
grounded in passionate craftsmanship, the collaboration honors Wegner’s enduring legacy. www.paulsmithcelebrateswegner.com
