Wishbone chair

The Wishbone Chair, also known as the CH24 Chair or Y Chair, is a chair designed by Hans Wegner in 1949 for Carl Hansen & Søn. The chair features a bentwood armrest and a paper cord rope seat in a woven envelope pattern. The chair is named after the Y or wishbone-shaped backrest. The design was inspired by Ming-era chairs. The chair, Wegner's best-selling design, is a notable example of Danish furniture design. The chair has been in continuous production since its original release. The chair is especially popular in Japan, where sales in the country account for more than a quarter of the annual production. There is an entire book dedicated to the chair published in the Japanese language. [The Wishbone chair] is an understated work of simplicity and comfort, its graceful shape hinting at both East Asian design and modernist ideals.
