About the Products
CH78 Mama Bear Chair & CH78 Neck Pillow
The CH78 lounge chair, known by the nickname Mama Bear, was designed in 1954 by Hans J. Wegner as a successor to the CH71 chair (1952). While the mainstream design of lounge chairs at the time was stately and imposing, the Mama Bear chair’s light and graceful silhouette created by the warm curves became a significant feature. The unique form from bodily mixed curves and various shapes, refined details such as the wooden panel of the armrests, and lightness are all seen in this design.
Furthermore, the ergonomic design gives this chair the utmost comfort, supporting the neck, back, and body gently and firmly. The flam, arms, and legs are made of solid wood certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). In addition, the neck pillow (headrest) is available as an option.
