Carl Hansen CH24 Child Wishbone Chair

Manufacturer: Carl Hansen & Søn | Designer: Hans J. Wegner, 1949

An Icon for Future Design Enthusiasts

In celebration of Hans J. Wegner's 110th birthday, the iconic 1949 Wishbone Chair has been reimagined for children. This complex, sculptural chair has been carefully scaled down by Carl Hansen & Søn to achieve the exacting proportions of the original in solid oak and woven paper cord. The result is equally as timeless as elegant - a beautiful addition to a bedroom or playroom, suitable for age 3+.

Known as 'The Master of the Chair' and designing over 500 chairs in his lifetime, Hans J. Wegner's CH24 Wishbone is considered by design enthusiasts all over the world as the most iconic. Coveted for generations and admired for its simplistic, sculptural appeal, Carl Hansen & Søn is delighted to present this cherished design for a younger generation of future design enthusiasts.

The Craft Behind Each Chair

The CH24 Children's Wishbone Chair follows in the footsteps of the original design, specifically redesigned to achieve exacting proportions where a simple downscale would not achieve the same balanced aesthetic. The chair consists of 14 solid oak components designed in collaboration with Wegner Design Studio and crafted by skilled craftsmen at Carl Hansen & Søn. Taking over 100 steps to hand-finish and assemble, it features Wegner's signature handwoven paper cord seat in an envelope pattern that takes a skilled craftsman one hour to achieve.
