Carl Hansen BM1106 Huntsman Chair

Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Børge Mogensen, 1950

A Chair Born from the Hunt

The BM1106 Huntsman Chair was designed by Børge Mogensen in 1950 for a hunting cabin exhibition at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Furniture Guild — a setting that demanded furniture both rugged and refined. Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced it in 2019, unchanged in character.

Craftsmanship & Finish

Detailed craftsmanship and pure function combined. The design holds two qualities in tension: structural simplicity and material richness. The solid wood frame — available in oak or walnut — is spare and precise. Against it, the saddle leather seat is held taut by buckles and brackets in stainless steel or brass, introducing a craft detail that rewards close attention. The contrast wood wedge in the legs — always in the opposing timber — is a further quiet flourish.

Equally suited to a dining room or a study, the open frame and angled seat allow for a range of sitting positions, making it as practical as it is considered.

• Dimensions — W67 × D62 × H84cm (seat height 42.5cm)
• Frame — Solid oak or walnut
• Seat & back — Saddle leather, available in 3 colours

Care note: Saddle leather will develop a patina with use. Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth; avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading. For the solid wood frame, avoid sudden changes in humidity and temperature.
