History of Wishbone Chair
The Wishbone Chair, also known as the CH24 Chair or Y Chair, was created by designer Hans Wegner in 1949 for Carl Hansen & Søn. This iconic chair features elegantly curved bentwood armrests and a seat made of woven paper cord in an envelope pattern. It derives its name from the distinctive Y-shaped backrest, which is inspired by Ming-era designs.
Recognized as Wegner’s best-selling creation, the Wishbone Chair is a notable example of Danish design excellence. It has been in continuous production since its launch and has gained significant popularity in Japan, where it represents over 25% of annual sales. A dedicated book about this chair has even been published in Japanese.
Renowned for its understated elegance and comfort, the Wishbone Chair’s graceful form embodies a fusion of East Asian aesthetics and modernist principles.
