Hans Wegner Wishbone CH24 for Carl Hansen in oak and Danish rope, designed by Hans Wegner in 1950 and this produced in 1973, so when the craftmanship was still mainly manual. This iconic model also known as the "Wishbone chair" has been recognized by many professionals as the perfect chair. The price is for 1 but we have a set of 6, dated 1972/73, in perfect condition with a very nice patina on the oak and good original rope. This simple, elegant and functional design has a shape that perfectly matches the sitting posture of the human body and the curved backrest is an important element. Hans Wegner, the great Danish designer of Scandinavian Modernist Design, placed great importance on the functionalism of his pieces and throughout his career and life sought to create the perfect chair. This quest for the perfect chair resulted in more than 500 chair designs, but more importantly the designer left behind a selection of equally timeless and comfortable models, of which the Wishbone chair is one.Out of the 6 chairs, one has been re-corded with new Danish cord, while the other five still have their original cord.
