The Wishbone Chair – famous for its distinctive wishbone-shaped back – was designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950 and has remained in continuous production at Carl Hansen & Son ever since. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the Wishbone Chair to gain insight into the creation of this world-famous design icon.
Hans J. Wegner left nothing to chance when his Wishbone Chair was to enter production. On account of the intense working relationship between the designer and the joiners, Wegner decided to move in with Holger Hansen's family on the Danish island of Funen so that he could monitor every single process at the factory first-hand during the final, critical weeks. He was adamant that the final result should not be compromised, and made a point of personally supervising all phases of the production process up until the launch in 1950.
The Wishbone Chair is available in ash, beech, oak, smoked oak, walnut and cherry, with colored, lacquered, oiled or soaptreated finishes. Three versions of the woven seat are available: natural, white and black. The chair has a seat height of 45 cm, and is 76 cm high, 55 cm wide and 51 cm deep.
After two years of work our architects designed space with focus on every little detail. Working with 560m² of residential area and 270m² big terrace we tried to create a different view - a powerful experience, specific interior design with emphasis on connecting detail with whole. We achieved harmony between these two by carefully selecting untypical materials, lights, colors and of course, furniture.
