Asger Soelberg

The Asger chair is designed by Danish designer Asger Soelberg, who is known for his shapely wooden chairs.

Bent Hansen's owner and creative director, Henrik Hvid Hansen, tells about the collaboration. Ever since Bent Hansen was founded in 1948 as a small upholstery workshop in Aalborg, we have been focused on creating great comfort. So, when Asger Soelberg came to us with a presentation of a new dining chair, we asked each other: How can we, together, create a wooden chair with as great a level of comfort as an upholstered chair?

The task was to shape the chair's seat, back and armrests in a way that achieved the same softness as that of an upholstered chair. In addition, the spacious chair offers a unique freedom of movement in different sitting positions.
