CH24P Wishbone Chair Oiled Oak with Terra Leather 2 Seat - des. Hans Wegner 1950 - made by Carl Hansen & Søn

This is something very special. 

For more than 70 years, Hans J. Wegner’s CH24 Wishbone Chair has been in continuous production at Carl Hansen & Søn, with its iconic design remaining unchanged. Its light and distinctive expression is the result of more than 100 steps of craftsmanship.

Now, the icon is reimagined with a soft leather seat. The aniline Terra leather, with its silky matte surface, develops a beautiful patina, adding warmth and tactility whilst preserving the characteristic lightness and balance of Wegner’s original design.

About the CH24 Wishbone Chair: 

When Hans J. Wegner designed the CH24 Wishbone Chair in 1949, he couldn’t have possibly predicted the global phenomenon it would become. Drawing on an international design language inspired by antique Chinese furniture, Wegner created a new expression of Scandinavian design, demonstrating a deep respect for wood through his meticulous cabinetry skills. With a form uniquely its own, the Wishbone Chair has garnered a reputation as one of the most iconic pieces of Danish modern furniture. In over 70 years of production with Carl Hansen & Søn, not a single detail of the Wishbone Chair has changed; from its instantly recognisable Y-shaped back to its steam-bent top. Its simplistic shape and lightweight construction rely on a complex process of more than 100 steps. Crafted in Denmark, where fourteen individual parts are carefully assembled and hand-finished with the utmost care.
