Carl Hansen & Søn craftsmanship and Danish design details

A defining collaboration

Hans J. Wegner and the Wishbone Chair legacy.

Carl Hansen & Son’s evolution is inseparable from its long-term relationship with Hans J. Wegner. The creative partnership began in 1949, when Holger Hansen took a chance on a then-unknown designer.

In 1950, the CH24 Wishbone Chair entered production and has remained in continuous production ever since. Today, Carl Hansen & Son is the world’s largest producer of Wegner’s furniture, manufactured in Denmark in close collaboration with the studio.
