Whisbone Chair by Carl Hansen

12/07/2024

The first chair model that Hans J. Wegner designed exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1949 has been in continuous production ever since.

The CH24 combines the elegance and simplicity of Scandinavian design with the robustness and durability of the woods used.

To give stability to the steam-curved top and ensure comfortable support, Wegner developed the CH24 chair's characteristic Y-shaped backrest, which gave it the name Wishbone Chair.

It takes more than 100 steps to make each Wishbone Chair, most of which are done by hand.

The seat alone takes a craftsman an hour to make, using approximately 120 meters of paper rope. The durability and stability of this model are remarkable.

The Wishbone Chair has gained recognition as the 'ideal chair', capturing the essence of contemporary Scandinavian design.

Its structure is made of oak, walnut, beech or ash wood.

Founded in 1908 by Carl Hansen, Carl Hansen & Søn is one of the most prestigious Danish furniture design brands, and has become an icon of Scandinavian design.
