Description
The Carl Hansen & Søn CH24 Wishbone Chair, also known as the Y Chair, is one of the most celebrated designs by Hans J. Wegner — a pioneer of Danish modern furniture. First crafted in 1949 for Carl Hansen and in continuous production since 1950, the Wishbone Chair embodies the perfect balance of form and function.
Each chair is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans using sustainably sourced solid beech, oak, or walnut and features over 100 individual steps in its construction. The hand-woven natural paper cord seat takes a master craftsman over an hour to complete using 120 meter of papercord, ensuring exceptional comfort and durability.
Its iconic Y-shaped backrest, gently curved top rail, and sculptural silhouette make the CH24 as visually striking as it is ergonomically sound. Whether used as a dining chair, accent piece, or design statement, it elevates any interior with its Scandinavian minimalism and organic elegance.
Available in a variety of finishes and wood types, the CH24 Wishbone Chair remains a timeless investment for design lovers and collectors alike. As an original each piece comes with the Carl Hansen & Son authenticity plate and serial number placed below the seat.
A Leather Seat Cushion is also available for the Wishbone Chair to give extra comfort. Similarly, a painted or 'soft' version is also available here.
