Set of Six Hans J. Wegner "CH-24" Wishbone chairs from the Carl Hansen & Sons production in the 1970s in oak and papercord, in good condition. Lightly refinish and with new papercord. Labeled underneath seat.

Simply referred to as "The Chair" by connoisseurs of Danish mid-century design for its iconic status in the canon of Scandinavian modern furniture, Hans J. Wegner's "Wishbone chair" or "Y chair" was designed in 1949 and first put into production by Carl Hansen & Son in 1950.

When designing the CH24 chair, Wegner wanted to combine the backrest and armrests into one single piece. To support the steam-bent top, he developed the classic Y-shaped back, which earned the chair the name Wishbone. The end result was an elegant and graceful chair with seating comfort in a class of its own.

The manufacturing process of the Wishbone chair involves more than 100 steps, most of which are still made by hand. The hand-woven seat alone takes a skilled craftsman about one hour and 120 meters of paper cord to make. The carefully finished Wishbone is a masterpiece of traditional craftsmanship and Danish design.
