The very first model Hans J.Wegner designed exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1949, the CH24 orWishbone Chair, has been in continuous production since its introduction in1950. With a form that is uniquely its own, the back- and armrest are shapedinto a single piece. To give stability to the steam-bent top and ensurecomfortable support, Wegner developed the characteristic Y-shaped back that theWishbone Chair is named after.
To reflect the times we livein now, Crawford’s innate sense of colour and space marries beautifully withWegner’s understanding of how a piece of furniture is experienced. Thecollector’s item is offered in one of nine modern yet timeless hues. The carefullycurated palette of translucent, non-toxic, water-based paints was selected toadd depth and complexity to the familiar shape – to create an atmosphere, aswell as to allow the natural beauty of the wood grain to shine through eachdesign.
