Carl Hansen CH24 Wishbone Chair

The Wishbone Chair, introduced in 1949, was Wegner's inaugural design for Carl Hansen & Son and continues to be a timeless classic. 

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.

All wood used in the construction of the Wegner Wishbone Chair by Carl Hansen & Son is sustainably harvested from Danish and North American sawmills.
