Chair CH24 - Walnut

The CH24 chair, better known as the Wishbone Chair, is a masterpiece of Danish design, designed by Hans Wegner and produced by Carl Hansen & Søn. This iconic piece of furniture exquisitely combines form and function and is a prime example of Scandinavian craftsmanship. The backrest, which doubles as an armrest, is steam-curved, giving the chair an elegant, curved silhouette reminiscent of antique Chinese chairs.

Made from solid walnut wood, the CH24 stands out for its natural beauty and the warmth of the wood. Each chair is the result of over 100 painstaking steps and is finished with 120 meters of paper cord for the seat. This precise craftsmanship is reflected in every detail and makes the Wishbone Chair a long-lasting companion in your home.

Carl Hansen & Søn is committed to sustainable production and mainly uses FSC-certified wood. Any leftover wood that cannot be used for furniture is used as fuel for a district heating plant that supplies heat to over 400 households in Gelsted, Denmark. This minimizes the ecological footprint and makes optimal use of natural resources.

The CH24 is not just a piece of furniture, but a piece of history that moves into your home. Available in different types of wood such as beech, oak, ash and mahogany, you can customize the chair to suit your interior. The natural cord or black cord seat offers added comfort and style. Treat yourself to a piece of Scandinavian design history with the Wishbone Chair and experience the combination of tradition and modernity.

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.
