Chair CH24 - Ash

The CH24 chair, better known as the Wishbone Chair, is a masterpiece by Carl Hansen & Søn, created by the renowned designer Hans Wegner. This iconic chair made of solid ash wood embodies timeless elegance and craftsmanship at the highest level. The unique, steam-curved backrest, which also functions as an armrest, not only gives the chair a distinctive look, but also offers exceptional comfort. Thanks to the clever design, you can easily move the chair very close to the table, making it ideal for dining rooms and social gatherings.

The manufacturing process of the CH24 is a true craft involving more than 100 steps. For the seat, 120 meters of paper cord are used, which are intricately woven by hand. Each of these creations takes around three weeks to produce before it leaves the factory in Denmark and moves into your home. The Wishbone Chair is not just a piece of furniture, but a part of your family history that can last for generations.

Carl Hansen & Søn is committed to sustainability and the responsible use of resources. The wood used is predominantly FSC-certified and comes from sustainable cultivation. Even leftover wood that can no longer be used for furniture is used as fuel in a local district heating plant to supply over 400 households in Gelsted, Denmark, with heat. By purchasing the CH24, you are also helping to protect the environment.

The Wishbone Chair CH24 in ash is a true design classic that fits seamlessly into any stylish interior. In addition to ash, we also offer the "Y-chair" in other fine types of wood such as beech, oak, walnut and mahogany. Each variant is available in different versions, either with a natural cord or black cord seat, so you can find the perfect chair to suit your taste and needs.

Optimal use and care

Wood :

Wood is a living, natural material and should therefore always be cleaned as gently as possible. Regular cleaning with a damp cloth ensures that the furniture always looks good and has a beautiful patina. Never use aggressive cleaning agents to clean furniture.

Solid wood furniture should not be placed near heat sources such as radiators and wood stoves or stored in unheated rooms.
Wood is a natural material and therefore no two pieces are alike. Small knots, visible growth spots and color variations are part of the natural appearance of wood. The parts of a piece of furniture are always assembled according to color and structure so that the piece of furniture is beautiful and complete.
The furniture is beautiful and complete. Color and texture can vary from one piece of furniture to another.

Paper cord

The paper cords used at Carl Hansen & Søn are made from sustainable, FSC-certified materials. We use two different colors of paper cords: natural and black. The natural paper cord is made from unbleached paper while the black cord is dyed.

Normal cleaning and maintenance
Paper cord typically requires little or no maintenance as the durable paper cord is designed to last for years. If you want to clean the seat, you can wipe it with a well-wrung soft cloth and a neutral, colorless soap solution. It is not recommended to do this too often as it may cause unnecessary wear and tear on the paper cord. The paper cord has a thin layer of wax that prevents staining. However, discoloration of the paper cord can occur if strong liquids, e.g. E.g. red wine, fruit juice or strongly colored food can be spilled on the cord.
