Same iconic design, just smaller

Iconic Danish design for a new generation. Celebrating 110 years of Hans J. Wegner, Carl Hansen & Søn reveals the CH24 Children’s Wishbone Chair.

Known as ‘The Master of the Chair’ and designing over 500 chairs in his lifetime, Hans J. Wegner’s 1949 CH24 Wishbone Chair is considered by design enthusiasts all over the world as the most iconic. Coveted for generations and admired for its simplistic, sculptural appeal, Carl Hansen & Søn is delighted to present this cherished design for a younger generation of future design enthusiasts.

The CH24 Children’s Wishbone Chair follows in the footsteps of the original design, specifically redesigned to achieve exacting proportions where a simple downscale would not achieve the same balanced aesthetic. The chair consists of 14 solid oak components designed in collaboration with Wegner Design Studio and crafted by skilled craftsmen at Carl Hansen & Søn. Taking over 100 steps to hand-finish and assemble, it features Wegner’s signature handwoven paper cord seat in an envelope pattern that takes a skilled craftsman one hour to achieve.

Hans J. Wegner

As a driving force behind 'Danish Modern', Hans J. Wegner helped change the general public's view of furniture in the 1950s and 1960s. His passion for designing chairs, more than 500 of them, is recognized worldwide and reflected in his title 'the Master of the Chair'. He is famous for integrating perfectly executed joints with exquisite shapes and combining them with a constant curiosity for materials and deep respect for wood and its natural characteristics. His designs furnish minimalism with organic and natural softness. Hans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder in Southern Denmark, the son of a shoemaker. At the age of 17, he completed his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in the workshop of H. F. Stahlberg where his first designs saw the light of day. At the age of twenty he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied from 1936-1938 before embarking on a career as an architect.
