Carl Hansen & Son E005 Embrace Chair
The result of Carl Hansen & Søn’s 2015 dining chair collaboration with renowned Austrian design trio EOOS is a form so expressive, it functions just as comfortably as a stand-alone, sculptural piece.
A recent addition to Carl Hansen & Søn’s portfolio, the Embrace Chair unites EOOS’s strong sense of modern aesthetics with our century-old tradition of quality craftsmanship and outstanding comfort. Pairing a light, wood frame in Carl Hansen & Søn’s characteristic style with soft upholstery, the design creates a simultaneously precise and relaxed expression.
The chair’s wooden structure is continuous, with the legs serving as an essential element of the overall silhouette rather than appendages to the upholstered upper section. The back of the frame, composed of three pieces assembled in classic finger joints, is especially striking. A soft, three-dimensional cushion functions as seat, back and armrests, the upholstery embracing the wooden structure and appearing to float within the frame.
Originally conceived for dining, the Embrace Chair’s multifunctional design makes it a welcoming addition to any living space, hotel lobby, waiting area or conference room.

EOOS
Austrian design collaborative, EOOS, were established in Vienna in 1995 by Martin Bergmann, Gernot Bohmann, and Harald Gründl. The trio study historical roots in a contemporary context and use a unique process called Poetical Analysis to create works. Their method focuses on myths, rituals and intuitive expressions, to create connections that extend beyond initial perceptions. EOOS view design as a poetic discipline, and believe that end results should be able to accommodate changing needs and desires.

In 1908, Carl Hansen founded Carl Hansen & Son. His mission? Passionate craftsmanship. The company thrives on the belief that exceptional craftsmanship and rational serial production can coexist, offering customers high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. Today, the brand remains committed to this principle.

Faithful to its inception, all designs are a testament to its commitment to quality and timeless design.
