Why We Love It

Iconic, functional and stunning - wishes do come true. The CH24 Wishbone Chair is a Danish Modern design that gets its name from the distinctive Y-shaped back. It is strong yet lightweight, with a solid wood frame and a unique seat made by hand weaving more than 120 meters of specialty paper cord.

  • The CH24 Wishbone Chair is a timeless classic, designed by the renowned Hans J. Wegner in 1950.
  • With a form that is uniquely its own, the back- and armrest are shaped into a single piece.
  • To give stability to the steam-bent top and ensure comfortable support, Wegner developed the characteristic Y-shaped back that the Wishbone Chair is named after.
  • More than 100 steps are required to manufacture each Wishbone Chair, most of which are carried out by hand – the hand-woven seat alone takes a skilled craftsman about an hour to create, using approximately 120 meters of paper cord, the impressive durability, and stability of which make the chair both strong and long-lasting.
  • The Wishbone Chair offers comfort and stability as well as satisfying aesthetic desires for a distinctive, elegant form.
  • Over time, the Wishbone Chair has gained recognition as the ideal chair, capturing the essence of modern Danish design.
  • Hand woven paper cord seat.
  • Solid hardwood frame.
  • Please note, Carl Hansen & Søn is excluded from our Rypen Perks Program.
