E005 Embrace Chair

The Carl Hansen & Søn Embrace Dining Chair (E005) represents a masterful fusion of modern Austrian design and legendary Danish craftsmanship. Created in 2015 by acclaimed design trio EOOS, this sculptural piece challenges traditional dining chair conventions while honoring Carl Hansen & Søn's century-old commitment to quality. The chair's most striking feature is its innovative 'floating' cushion design – a single, three-dimensional form that ingeniously serves as seat, backrest, and armrests. This sophisticated upholstered element appears to hover within the chair's solid wood frame, creating a visual lightness that belies its exceptional comfort. The frame itself showcases exquisite artisanship, particularly in the back's three-piece construction with classic finger joints, demonstrating that structural elements can be both functional and aesthetically captivating. At 24 inches wide, 20.5 inches deep, and 32.7 inches high, with a comfortable 18.3-inch seat height, the Embrace Chair strikes an ideal balance between dining comfort and spatial efficiency. The frame, available in premium solid oak or walnut with various finishes, features continuous wooden elements where the legs integrate seamlessly into the overall silhouette rather than appearing as mere appendages. Perfect for both residential and commercial environments, this versatile chair transcends its dining room origins to serve as a distinctive accent piece in any sophisticated interior. The customizable upholstery options, including contrasting edge strips, allow for personalization while maintaining the chair's clean, contemporary aesthetic.
