Why We Love It

To celebrate more than 70 years of collaboration between Carl Hansen & Søn and Hans J. Wegner, designer Ilse Crawford reinterprets the CH24 Wishbone Chair in a palette of nine soft yet complex colors. The carefully curated palette of translucent, non-toxic, water-based paints was selected to add depth and complexity to the familiar shape – to create an atmosphere, as well as to allow the natural beauty of the wood grain to shine through each design.

  • 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.
  • To reflect the times we live in now, Crawford’s innate sense of color and space marries beautifully with Wegner’s understanding of how a piece of furniture is experienced.
  • Available for a limited time only, the collector’s item is offered in one of nine modern yet timeless hues.
  • Hand woven paper cord seat.
  • Solid beech frame painted in various colors with gloss 5 (soft).
  • Please note, Carl Hansen & Søn is excluded from our Rypen Perks Program.
  • If out of stock, item typically ships in 12-14 weeks - contact us for availability.
