Hans J. Wegner designed this series in the early 70s with the Danish firm Johannes Hansen, producing a limited number at that time. While there has been no production since then, a few pieces have appeared in auctions during recent years and their rarity and beauty have kept prices high. Carl Hansen & Son was chosen by the Hans J Wegner Studio to relaunch the series on the occasion of Carl Hansen & Son's 100th anniversary in 2008 (hence the series name CH100).
