CH24 Wishbone Chair

Hans Wegner Anniversary - Special Offer

2014 would have been Hans J Wegner's 100th birthday and to celebrate this centenary, we have a wonderful offer on Wegner's best known design. Order a set of six chairs (or more) and not only will you receive a 10% discount on the set, but also one chair of the set will be a very special anniversary edition engraved with Wegner's signature and his birth date - 2nd April. If ordered online, the discount will automatically be applied when six chairs are placed in the shopping basket. This special offer applies only to the natural oiled oak and natural papercord seat version of the chair, and it lasts until 30th September or whilst stocks last.

Each CH24 chair is strung by hand

Hans Wegner designed this chair to be beautiful and functional but it is not easy to make. The back legs are steam-bent into a curve that tapers to join a semi-circular steam-bent back rest. The delicate taper of all the legs tested the limits of serial production. The joinery was difficult – even a small mistake would compromise structural integrity – but the 100 separate manual tasks resulted in a strong, lightweight chair. Today, Carl Hansen & Son's production of this timeless piece embodies a synthesis of technology and craftsmanship, resulting in superb quality that lasts a lifetime.
