CH24 Children’s Wishbone Chair

To celebrate Hans J. Wegner’s 110th birthday, the iconic 1949 Wishbone Chair has been reimagined for children. This intricate, sculptural chair was carefully scaled down by Carl Hansen & Søn to achieve the exacting proportions of the original in solid oak and woven paper rope. The result is a timeless yet elegant chair suitable for ages 3 and up, and a beautiful addition to a bedroom or playroom.

An icon for future design enthusiasts

Known as the ‘Master of the Chair’ and having designed more than 500 chairs in his lifetime, Hans J. Wegner’s 1949 CH24 Wishbone Chair is considered the most iconic chair by design enthusiasts around the world. Coveted for generations and admired for its simple, sculptural appeal, Carl Hansen & Søn is delighted to present this treasured design to the younger generation of design enthusiasts of the future.

Following in the footsteps of the original design, the CH24 Children’s Wishbone Chair has been specifically redesigned to achieve precise proportions where a simple reduction would not achieve the same balanced aesthetic. The chair consists of 14 solid oak components, designed in collaboration with Wegner Design Studio and manufactured by the skilled artisans at Carl Hansen & Søn. Requiring more than 100 steps to complete and assemble by hand, it features Wegner’s signature hand-woven paper cord seat in an envelope pattern that a skilled craftsman can complete in an hour.
