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.

Sustainability

Make it well, make it last.

Carl Hansen & Son’s sustainability work centers on longevity: furniture crafted to last a lifetime and stay in use for generations. This includes responsibly sourced wood, healthier production practices, and in-house repair and refurbishment support.

Nearly every bit of wood is used, with remaining scrap repurposed as fuel in local district heating. The goal is straightforward: reduce waste, protect people and the environment, and create pieces worth keeping.
