Description
The Wishbone Chair, CH24 or 'Y' Chair was designed by Hans J.Wegner in 1950. Manufactured by Carl Hansen & Son in Denmark the Wishbone Chair is every inch the Danish design classic. This edition reimagines Hans J. Wegner’s iconic design in a contemporary palette of curated colours. Maintaining the sculptural form and meticulous craftsmanship of the original, this version adds a vibrant painted finish that elevates any interior from minimal to bold.
Expertly handcrafted from sustainably sourced solid wood, each CH24 chair undergoes over 100 steps in its creation — including steam-bending the top rail and hand-weaving the signature seat from durable paper cord. The painted finish not only adds colour but also enhances surface protection, making it ideal for modern living spaces.
Whether in soft neutrals or rich tones, the painted CH24 remains faithful to Wegner’s vision of organic comfort and minimalist elegance. A perfect choice for dining rooms, creative workspaces, or design-forward interiors, this is a piece that blends timeless form with a splash of colour.
The Wishbone or 'Y' Chair acquired its name due to the 'Y' shaped back and with its measured use of materials is a light, sculptural dining chair which offers good back support and a comfortable sitting position. For the natural wood finish chair see CH24 Wishbone Chair
