Description
The Carl Hansen & Son CH24 Wishbone Chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1949 and has been in constant production ever since. When designing the CH24 Wishbone Chair, Wegner who is affectionately known as The Master Of The Chair, chose to combine the seat back and armrest into a single piece. Inspired by a portrait of a Chinese emperor and his throne, its curved form is characterised by the Y-shaped back rest and is the reason the chair is often referred to as the Y Chair. The steam bent top not only gives the chair stability but also ensures comfortable support.
Every Wishbone Chair is made by hand in Carl Hansen & Son's Danish factory, with expert craftsmen carrying out more than 100 production steps per chair. The handwoven papercord seat, which is incredibly durable and lightweight, takes over an hour to create and uses approximately 120 meters of cord. A true icon, the Wishbone Chair has secured itself a place in design history and remains Carl Hansen & Son's best selling product to this day.
There are plenty of replicas available today but this authentic licensed original is the real thing. Recently reintroduced in Teak the Wishbone Chair is also available in Danish hardwoods (oak, beech and ash) as well North American hardwood (walnut) the Wishbone Chair comes in a variety of finishes (soaped, oiled or lacquered) with a seat in hand-woven paper cord (unbleached/natural or black). A Leather Seat Cushion is also available for the Wishbone Chair.
