Manufacturer: Carl Hansen

Designer: Hans J Wegner 1950

Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1949 as one of the first models created especially for Carl Hansen & Son and produced ever since 1950.

The gently rounded top - together with the back and seat - offers a variety of comfortable seating positions: ideal for both long visits to the dining table and relaxed lounging.

It is a light chair easy to move around the dining table and about the room.

With a form that is uniquely its own, the iconic CH24 Wishbone Chair by Hans J. Wegner holds a special place in the world of modern design.

When designing the CH24, Wegner chose to combine the back- and armrest into a single piece. To give stability to the steam-bent top and ensure comfortable support, Wegner developed the characteristic Y-shaped back that the Wishbone Chair is named after.

More than 100 steps are required to manufacture each Wishbone Chair, most of which are carried out by hand. The hand-woven seat alone takes a skilled craftsman about an hour to create, using approximately 120 meters of paper cord, the impressive durability, and stability of which make the chair both strong and long-lasting. The Wishbone Chair offers comfort and stability as well as satisfying aesthetic desires for a distinctive, elegant form.

Over time, the Wishbone Chair has gained recognition as the ideal chair, capturing the essence of modern Danish design.

A leather cushion is also available.
