Wishbone Chair (CH24)
by Hans J. Wegner
Known affectionately as the Y Chair, this is the crowning achievement of Nordic furniture design. The distinctive Y-shaped backrest and hand-woven paper cord seat have been continuously produced by Carl Hansen & Son for over 70 years. Renowned Japanese architect Tadao Ando famously chose this as the first piece of furniture he purchased when establishing his studio — a testament to its universal appeal across cultures.
