Chair CH24 - Beech

The CH24 chair, known as the Wishbone Chair, is a masterpiece of Danish design tradition and comes from the renowned manufacturer Carl Hansen & Søn. Designed by Hans Wegner, this elegant chair fits seamlessly into the series of design classics. Its shape is inspired by antique Chinese seating furniture, which is reflected in the unique, steam-curved backrest that also serves as an armrest. This ingenious design allows the chair to be moved close to the table while ensuring maximum comfort.

Made from solid beech wood, most of which is FSC-certified and sustainably grown, the CH24 chair not only stands for excellent style, but also for a sense of responsibility towards our environment. Over 100 intricate steps and the use of 120 meters of paper cord are necessary to complete this chair, underlining its quality and durability. The production process takes around three weeks, during which every step is carried out with the utmost precision and dedication.

The Wishbone Chair is available in other fine woods such as oak, ash, walnut and mahogany. Each model offers the choice of a natural cord or black cord seat to fit perfectly into your individual living environment. Thanks to Carl Hansen & Søn's sustainable practices, even the smallest wood scraps are put to good use to provide heat to over 400 households in Gelsted, Denmark.

With the CH24, you are not just bringing a piece of furniture into your home, but a piece of Danish craftsmanship and a story of tradition and innovation. Experience the perfect symbiosis of design and functionality with this extraordinary chair.

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.
