Carl Hansen Sn CH24 Wishbone Chair Soft Clay – Natural Cord

To celebrate the more than 70 years of the CH24 Wishbone collection Carl Hansen Sn asked designer Ilse Crawford to design nine new colours for the iconic chairs. Crawford created a soft yet intense colour palette inspired by the expressionist paintings of the renowned Danish artist Per Kirkeby and the raw beauty of the Nordic landscapes plants and soil. The eco-friendly water-based matte colours are launched one by one during 2022. The CH24 chair also known as Wishbone is a true Danish design classic. Designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1949 the Wishbone chair has been produced by Carl Hansen Sn since 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.
