CH24 Wishbone Chair Beech | Carl Hansen & Son

The well-known CH24 Wishbone Chair by Carl Hansen and Søn was designed by Hans Wegner as early as 1949
and has been in continuous production since 1950.

Due to comfort in combination with beautiful design, the Wishbone Chair, now a design classic, is still very popular.
The precisely thought-out shape of the backrest and the papercord seat, which springs comfortably and ventilates,
make the CH24 a dining room chair that you can sit on at dinner for a long time.
And, the Wishbone Chair is also ideal at the reading table or as a small relaxing armchair.
The softly rounded backrest, the light Y-construction and the hand-woven paper cord offer the chair
a variety of comfortable sitting positions. The very stable and also very light construction of the chair makes it easy to move.

Materials
The oak trees CH uses are somewhere between 150-250 years old. Oak has shorter fibers than ash
but is also a very strong wood type.
Oak is however easier to work with than ash. It has an open surface and the fibers are visible and touchable even
in the black lacquered version.
The CH24 seat is made of papercord, this is treated with a light wax coating prior to braiding for protection
from discoloration and grease.
Papercord is made from pure, unbleached paper or black dyed paper.
Hans Wegner chose papercord for comfort and because it is very durable and just as natural as wood.
