Wishbone (Y) Stoel - CH24 Beech/Natural (2024)

FAQs

How can you tell if a Wishbone Chair is real? ›

One way to identify a Wishbone is to look at the curved top rail, the original backrest is made of one single piece, whereas most copies are made of three. The single-piece gives it the sturdiness the chair is known for. Most recognizably, the seat is a huge determinant between a fake and an original Wegner chair.

A CLASSIC FOR EVERY HOME

Even though it is most often associated with the Scandinavian, minimalistic look, the hand woven seating and wooden frame allows the chair to provide the space with a boho touch, as well as being coastal or industrial.

Light in weight and form, it's a great alternative to heavier-looking dining chairs. CONS: If the seat needs repair, it's not always easy or inexpensive to fix. Not the most comfortable chair for everyday dining, nor is it child-friendly: the weight makes it easy to tip and the seat is not stain-resistant.

Wishbone chairs should last for decades. Their durability makes them a long-lasting investment for your home. As a result a well-cared-for CH24 Chair can even last a lifetime. Obviously, the exact lifespan can vary depending on usage and maintenance.

The seats of authentic Wishbone chairs are woven in either natural or black paper cord, depending on what you choose. It will sit uniformly and will be taut and neat. Anything that looks loose or uneven, or if the 'cord' is actually made from a synthetic material, will be fake.

You can clean it simply with a soft cloth and neutral soap solution. Avoid excessive cleaning to prevent wear. The cord is naturally cool, comfortable, and resistant. Even though it has a mild wax treatment to prevent stains, strong liquids may cause discolouration.

Hans J. Wegner's Wishbone Chair is one such design. The appeal of the humble Wishbone chair is widespread and it remains just as relevant today as it did back in the 1950s. The Wishbone chair was first conceived by Wegner in 1949 and put into production in 1950.

The Wishbone Chair continues to be Hans Wegner's greatest commercial success among the many excellent chairs he designed over his career. In 1944, Wegner began designing a series of chairs based on portraits of Danish merchants seated in Ming Dynasty chairs. The Wishbone was the last of the series, designed in 1949.

The wishbone chair, a piece of timeless design we can thank Hans Wegner for, is one of those pieces that miraculously fits in any room.

Why are high end chairs so expensive? ›

A primary reason why office chairs are so expensive is due to their intricate manufacturing process. These chairs often involve assembling numerous components which contributes to their functionality. The manufacturing of ergonomic chairs involves advanced machinery and specialized techniques.

The Carl Hansen & Son CH24 Wishbone Chair is a Scandinavian design classic, part of the CH24 Collection designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1949. Available in a range of wood finishes with a hand-woven unbleached paper cord seat in black or natural finishes.

CH24, soon to be known as the Wishbone Chair, was an iteration of Wegner's Chinese Chair series. The Chinese Chairs were produced for Fritz Hansen starting in 1944 and took inspiration from the round wooden seats of Ming China.

That said, there is no doubt that the first 15-16cm of the chair will fit under the table. However, once the table meets the armrests, it will depend on the vertical space under your table. The Wishbone's armrests measure 70cm high at the front.

Using a damp cloth is the most effective way to clean the chair's surfaces. Start by wiping off any dust or dirt, then use a clean damp cloth with a mild detergent solution to clean away any remaining dirt or grime in your wishbone chair.

How do I identify a Hans Wegner chair? Well, the short answer, is to check the dimensions, wood, craftsmanship, and markings. Look for a seamless (one single piece of wood) back/armrest and smooth, tapered legs. The paper cord seat should be evenly woven.

Reproductions are regularly made of the same material, from top to bottom. Additionally, genuine antiques are usually even and unsymmetrical. Carpenters of the past did not rely on machinery. In fact, many antique pieces feature carved details and minute imperfections that confirm the work was done by hand.

Following symptoms could occur:

– the car no longer keeps its track (misalignment). – every bump in the road causes noise. – the steering is very “spongy”. – the car has an increasing tendency to swerve.
