The Chair That Defined Danish Design
The very first model Hans J. Wegner designed exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn, the CH24 Wishbone Chair has been in continuous production since 1950 - a rare distinction that speaks to the enduring rightness of its form. The gently rounded top rail flows into the characteristic Y-shaped back in a single steam-bent piece, combining backrest and armrest into one continuous curve that is as structurally considered as it is beautiful. Light enough to move around a table without thought, and comfortable enough to stay in long after the meal is finished.
Its gently curved back and supportive hand-woven paper cord seat make it comfortable for everyday dining as well as longer, more relaxed meals. It also works well as an occasional chair in a bedroom or home office.
A Scandinavian design icon, the CH24 pairs its solid wood frame with a hand-woven paper cord seat, light enough to move around the dining table with one hand.
Available in 13 finishes across beech, ash, oak and walnut - from the pale warmth of beech soap to the depth of walnut oil - each with hand-woven natural paper cord. The unbleached cord is a constant across all versions: tactile, durable, and visually striking from every angle.
The Craft Behind Each Chair
More than 100 steps are required to produce a single Wishbone Chair, the majority carried out by hand. The hand-woven paper cord seat alone takes a skilled craftsman approximately one hour to complete, using around 120 metres of cord per chair. The result is a seat that is exceptionally durable, stable underhand, and visually striking from every angle - including beneath the chair, where the weave is just as considered as the top.
