Unquestionably the Wishbone is the most recognizable chair model of the 20th and 21st Centuries designed by the undisputed master of chair design; Hans Wegner. This reimagined authentic Danish-made Model CH24 has been a passion project by our restoration team in homage of the late great Hans Wegner and the dedicated artisans who created this masterpiece of modern design.
Among all furniture designers Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is considered one of the most creative innovative and prolific especially amongst his Scandinavian counterparts. Often referred to as the master of the chair Wegner created almost 500 in his lifetime many of them now considered masterpieces. Wegner was part of the spectacular generation that created what is today referred to as the Golden Age of modern Danish design.
His iconic Wishbone Chair designed in 1948 is probably the most well-known and has been in continuous production since 1950. Inspired by the seats of the Royal Ming Dynasty the Wishbone is made up of 14 separate components which require 100 individual processes to chisel carve sand and shape adding nearly three weeks of preparation time before the chair can even begin to be assembled.
With its sleek ergonomically-minded wooden frame sanded natural and new hand-stitched leather seat this truly one-of-a-kind chair is perfect for designers and collectors alike searching for an authentically vintage Danish-made Wishbone chair with its own unique BOLD character.
