Designed in 1949, the Wishbone Chair (also known as the CH24) is one of Wegner’s most celebrated creations and a true symbol of Danish Modern design. Its instantly recognizable Y-shaped backrest, curved top rail, and handwoven paper cord seat offer both sculptural beauty and everyday functionality. The design was inspired by Ming Dynasty chairs yet translated through Wegner’s masterful eye for simplicity, organic form, and comfort.

Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007), often referred to as the “Master of the Chair,” was a leading figure in the Mid Century Danish Modern movement. His philosophy was rooted in craftsmanship, functionality, and timeless design, resulting in more than 500 chair designs throughout his career. Wegner collaborated extensively with Carl Hansen & Søn, a family-run Danish furniture manufacturer founded in 1908, which continues to produce his Wishbone Chair to this day.

This vintage set would elevate a wide range of interiors, from Mid Century Modern, Scandinavian, Minimalist, and Japandi spaces to more Eclectic, Bohemian, or even Modern Farmhouse styles. The natural wood tones and woven seats pair effortlessly with clean-lined dining tables, rustic farmhouse settings, or even sleek contemporary lofts. Whether styled in a dining room, breakfast nook, or open-plan kitchen, these chairs instantly create a warm and inviting atmosphere while making a strong design statement.
