Hans Wegner CH25 Easy Chair Replica UK: Top Picks 2026
A genuine Carl Hansen & Søn CH25 wing chair costs well into four figures before delivery, which is why searches for a Hans Wegner CH25 easy chair replica have climbed steadily through 2026. This guide ranks the wing-back alternatives worth buying in the UK right now, plus two categories you should walk straight past.
- D327 Lounge Chair (£499) is the closest wing-back silhouette in the Hans Wegner CH25 easy chair replica market at this price point - Buy.
- Omni Module 06 (£3,279) adds an enclosed high-back shape to the wing-chair form - Consider for open-plan rooms.
- Bugsy Lounge Chair (£1,259) swaps papercord detailing for high-density foam comfort - Consider.
- Authentic Carl Hansen & Søn originals, tracing to Hans Wegner's 1950 design, cost more than any replica on this list - Skip unless provenance matters.
- Unbranded marketplace copies with no published wing angle or seat height - Skip.
Why this matters
The CH25 is a wing-back lounge chair Hans Wegner designed in 1950, originally produced by Carl Hansen & Søn with a papercord-wrapped frame hidden under the upholstery. That construction is expensive to reproduce properly, which is exactly why the replica market is uneven: some pieces get the silhouette right and cut cost elsewhere, others cut corners on the frame and just chase the look.
Buying the wrong one means a chair that looks right in photos and sags within a year. For a full comparison of another Wegner design in the same price bracket, the Hans Wegner The Chair replica guide covers a different set of trade-offs worth reading alongside this one.
How we ranked
Every pick here is weighed against three things: how closely the wing-back proportions read against the original 1950 CH25 shape, whether the price is stated upfront rather than "POA", and whether the seller publishes seat dimensions rather than a single stock photo. Chairs that hide their specs get marked down regardless of how good the render looks. Chairs with a published price and a described upholstery type move up the list.
The ranked list
D327 Lounge Chair - PU Leather: the accessible wing-back
The D327 Lounge Chair is a curved-profile lounge chair finished in PU leather, priced at £499 in 2026. It leans on soft, sculptural comfort rather than an exact papercord reproduction, which is the honest trade-off at this price. For buyers who want the wing-chair silhouette in a living room without chasing a museum-accurate build, this is the entry point that doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
Verdict: Buy if budget is the deciding factor and PU leather suits the room.
Omni Module 06: the enclosed high-back option
The Omni Module 06 is a high-back, enclosed lounge chair built for privacy and acoustic control, priced at £3,279. It's a different proposition to a classic CH25 - the enclosure adds bulk the original never had - but the high-back wing shape and upholstered comfort put it in the same conversation for anyone furnishing an open-plan space where noise control matters as much as looks.
Verdict: Consider for open-plan rooms where sound matters; Skip if you want a lightweight, freestanding chair.
Bugsy Lounge Chair: the curved comfort pick
The Bugsy Lounge Chair is priced at £1,259 and built around a curved frame with a high-density foam seat designed to contour the body rather than fight it. It sits between the D327 and the Omni pieces on price, and its curved silhouette reads closer to a traditional wing shape than the enclosed Omni options do.
Verdict: Consider for a mid-range pick that still reads as a wing-back lounge chair.
Omni Module 05: the flexible modern read
The Omni Module 05 is a contemporary lounge chair at £2,519 designed for comfort and visual refinement in a workplace or home setting. It's the least wing-back of the group in shape, so treat it as a modern alternative rather than a CH25 stand-in.
Verdict: Consider only if you're open to a more contemporary line than the original CH25.
Authentic Carl Hansen & Søn CH25: the original, if provenance matters
The CH25 traces back to Hans Wegner's 1950 design for Carl Hansen & Søn, and an authentic piece will always sit above any replica on price. If provenance and the exact papercord-and-frame construction matter to you more than cost, this is the only option that guarantees it.
Verdict: Skip for budget buyers; Consider for collectors who want the real thing.
Unbranded marketplace replicas: the risk pick
Generic listings that show only a stock photo and no seat height, arm width or frame material are common across marketplace platforms. Without published dimensions there's no way to check whether the wing angle or proportions actually match the CH25 shape before the chair arrives.
Verdict: Skip - the lack of published specs is the problem, not the price.

“If a wing chair replica doesn't state seat height in centimetres, don't buy it.”
Where to buy
- Buy from a seller who publishes seat height, arm width and upholstery type before you ask - a stock photo with no specs is a red flag, not a shortcut.
- Compare stated price against the 2026 range in this guide (£499 to £3,279 across the picks above) before assuming a listing is a bargain.
- Confirm what's actually being sold - a wing-shaped lounge chair styled after the CH25 is not the same purchase as an authentic Carl Hansen & Søn piece, and the price difference should reflect that.
FAQ
What is the best Hans Wegner CH25 easy chair replica in 2026?
The D327 Lounge Chair at £499 offers the closest wing-back silhouette for the price among the options compared in this guide. Higher-priced picks like the Omni Module 06 at £3,279 add acoustic enclosure rather than a closer CH25 match.
Is a CH25 replica cheaper than the authentic Carl Hansen & Søn chair?
Yes, every replica compared here costs less than an authentic Carl Hansen & Søn piece. The trade-off is that replicas vary in how closely they follow the 1950 wing-back proportions Hans Wegner designed.
How much does a Hans Wegner CH25 easy chair replica cost in the UK?
Prices in this guide range from £499 for the D327 Lounge Chair to £3,279 for the Omni Module 06. Price generally tracks how enclosed or upholstered the design is, not just how close it looks to the original.
What year was the CH25 designed?
Hans Wegner designed the CH25 in 1950 for Carl Hansen & Søn. The wing-back shape and hidden frame construction from that design still define what buyers look for in a replica today.
Is the Bugsy Lounge Chair a true CH25 replica?
The Bugsy Lounge Chair is a curved-frame lounge chair with a high-density foam seat, not a direct CH25 reproduction. It shares the general wing-chair comfort profile at a mid-range price of £1,259.
Should I buy an unbranded marketplace replica?
No - skip listings that don't publish seat height, arm width or frame material. Without those specs there's no way to check the wing angle matches the CH25 shape before it arrives.
What's the difference between the Omni Module 05 and Omni Module 06?
The Omni Module 05 at £2,519 is an open contemporary lounge chair, while the Omni Module 06 at £3,279 is a high-back, enclosed version built for acoustic control. Pick the 06 if noise in the room is a factor.
Does provenance matter when buying a CH25 replica?
It matters only if you specifically want the Carl Hansen & Søn name and construction lineage. For most buyers comparing wing-back lounge chairs in 2026, price and published dimensions matter more than provenance.
One last thing
The detail most buyers miss: the CH25's wing shape exists because Wegner hid the entire supporting frame under upholstery and papercord back in 1950 - one of the earliest lounge chairs to do it. That's the one feature no budget replica fully replicates, so judge every pick on comfort and price rather than expecting a frame-perfect match.
