Few designs are as instantly recognisable as the Wishbone. Created by Danish designer Hans J. Wegner in the 1940s, this classic—also known as the CH24 or Y Chair—is a symbol of mid-century Scandinavian furniture.
The Wishbone Chair is celebrated for its sculptural frame and signature Y-shaped backrest, a design that feels just as modern today as it did 70 years ago. Crafted with a gently curved timber frame and a handwoven paper cord seat, each piece embodies the perfect balance of style and practicality.
Whether styled around a dining table or paired with high seating at a kitchen island, Wishbone seating brings design heritage into everyday dining.
Our collection includes both Wishbone Dining Chairs and Wishbone Bar Stools, giving you the freedom to carry this design throughout your dining spaces. Pair dining chairs with timber or contemporary dining tables for a cohesive look or add bar stools to a kitchen island for a touch of Scandinavian elegance.
While often chosen for residential interiors, Wishbone replicas also bring sophistication to boutique cafés, restaurants, and communal areas where style matters as much as function.
Every Wishbone replica in our collection celebrates Wegner’s original vision. The open timber frame creates a sculptural outline, while the handwoven paper cord seat offers both comfort and durability. This blend of design detail and everyday practicality ensures that Wishbone seating is not just admired but also enjoyed daily.
For those drawn to clean lines, natural textures, and understated elegance, the Wishbone remains one of the most recognisable Scandinavian dining chairs.
