When Wegner designed the CH163 sofa in 1965, he merged innovative comfort with his characteristic emphasis on making the structural elements visible. The three-seater CH163 sofa is built upon a solid beech wood frame whose vertical and horizontal lines are softened by upholstered cushions made of a foam core surrounded by European down and cold foam. Using down in a sofa construction was a brand new idea at the time and enabled Wegner to infuse exceptional comfort into a fairly geometric shape.
