There are few pieces in modern furniture design as enduring as the CH24 wishbone chair.
Elegant, sculptural and unmistakably refined, Hans J. Wegner’s 1949 design remains one of the most recognisable expressions of Danish Modernism a chair admired as much for its craftsmanship as for its quiet architectural beauty.
We are pleased to present Soft Focus, a special promotion from Carl Hansen & Søn celebrating the Wishbone Chair in its distinctive Soft Colour finishes.
From 1st May until 31st July 2026, enjoy 20% off the CH24 Wishbone Chair in all soft colour variants.
Originally created as the first design Hans Wegner developed exclusively for Carl Hansen & Søn, the CH24 Wishbone Chair has remained in continuous production since 1950 a testament to its timelessness and enduring relevance.
Its hand-woven paper cord seat, steam-bent backrest and Y-shaped support combine to create a silhouette that feels both delicate and deeply considered.
Now available in a palette of eighteen refined Soft Colour finishes, the Wishbone Chair takes on a new contemporary expression one that invites a more personal approach to collecting.
Subtle, chalky and quietly sophisticated, each hue has been developed to complement modern interiors while preserving the purity of Wegner’s original form.
The Soft Focus campaign explores colour not as embellishment, but as an extension of design itself.
It is an invitation to choose thoughtfully to select a piece not simply for function, but for feeling; not simply for now, but for the years ahead.
Whether chosen as a singular statement chair, gathered around a dining table, or layered into a broader interior palette, the Soft Colour Wishbone Chair offers a nuanced and highly personal interpretation of a design classic.
Widely regarded as one of the defining figures of twentieth-century furniture design, Hans J. Wegnerapproached furniture with the eye of a craftsman and the discipline of an architect.
Trained as a cabinetmaker before studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, his work was rooted in proportion, material honesty and the belief that furniture should improve with age and use.
That philosophy remains central to the enduring appeal of the CH24 a chair designed not for trend, but for a lifetime.
At Cimmermann, we believe the best interiors are built slowly through meaningful investment in pieces of lasting quality.
The CH24 Wishbone Chair exemplifies that ethos: timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and enduring everyday beauty.
