CH24 Chair

The CH24 Chair - or Wishbone Chair, in reference to its chicken breast-shaped back - is the most famous and best-selling chair by Danish designer Hans J. Wegner. Beautiful from every angle, it belongs to the "Chinese armchair" series, inspired to Wegner by portraits of Danish merchants sitting on Ming chairs.

The iconic shape of the Wishbone CH24 chair has earned it a place in the exclusive club of iconic chairs, a landmark in the history of world design. When designing the chair, Wegner chose to merge the backrest and armrest into a single piece. To stabilise the steam-curved upper section and provide comfortable support for the back, he developed the chair's characteristic Y-shaped support. [more]

More than 100 steps are needed to make a Wishbone chair, most of them done by hand. The hand-woven seat alone takes a skilled craftsman around an hour to complete, using around 120 metres of paper rope, a material left over from the wartime shortages that is impressively durable and stable (it can take around 50 years to complete).

A sign of its success, Carl Hansen & Søn has been producing the CH24 Wishbone chair for over half a century without interruption. The CH24 can be used as a dining chair, office chair or lounge chair.

Hans J. Wegner

Hans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder, Denmark, the son of a shoemaker. At the age of 17, he finished his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker with H. F. Stahlberg, in whose workshops Wegner’s first design experiments took form. He moved to Copenhagen as a 20 year-old, and attended the School of Arts and Crafts from 1936 – 1938 before he began working as an architect.

As a young architect, Wegner joined Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller in Århus, working on furniture design for the new Århus city hall in 1940. It was during the same year that Wegner began collaborating with master cabinetmaker, Johannes Hansen, who was a driving force in bringing new furniture design to the Danish public.

The Copenhagen Museum of Art and Industry acquired its first Wegner chair in 1942.

Wegner started his own design office in 1943. It was in 1944 that he designed the first “Chinese chair” in a series of new chairs that were inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs. One of these chairs, the “Wishbone Chair”, designed in 1949 and produced by Carl Hansen & Son in Odense since 1950, became the most successful of all Wegner chairs.

Among Danish furniture designers, Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative and productive. He has received practically every major recognition given to designers, including the Lunning prize, the grand prix of the Milan Triennale, Sweden’s Prince Eugen medal and the Danish Eckersberg medal. Wegner is an honorary Royal designer for industry of the Royal Society of Arts in London. Almost all of the world’s major design museums – from The Museum of Modern Art in New York to Die Neue Sammlung in Munich – include his furniture in their collections.

Hans J. Wegner died in Denmark in January, 2007.

Hans J. Wegner’s contribution to Danish Modern:

- First a cabinetmaker, then a designer: integrates exacting joinery techniques and exquisite form.

- A deep respect for wood and its characteristics – and an abiding curiosity about other natural materials

- Brings an organic, natural softness to formalistic minimalism

- Generally regarded as ”the master of the chair”, with more than 400 chair designs to his name
