Product Description
First created over half a century ago in 1950 by Hans J. Wegner especially for Carl Hansen & Søn, the CH24 Wishbone chair has been in continuous production ever since.
Inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting on Chinese Ming Dynasty Chairs, Hans J. Wegner took a unique turn into furniture design by combining the top rails and arms into a single piece. The Y-shaped back provides you with support whilst giving stability to the steam bent top at the same time.
In modern times, this chair has been featured in design magazines, films and TV all around the world and is regarded as one of the most influential design pieces ever created.
