In a city where space, style, and sustainability matter, the Wishbone Chair — also known as the CH24 — continues to charm homeowners, architects, and designers alike. Originally designed in 1949 by Hans J. Wegner, this Danish classic has stood the test of time, offering both aesthetic simplicity and functional comfort.
The Legacy Behind the Wishbone Chair
Hans J. Wegner, a pioneer of Danish Modern design, created the Wishbone Chair with a clear philosophy: furniture should be beautiful from every angle, practical in use, and crafted with care. The signature Y-shaped backrest not only lends its "wishbone" name but also provides a light, airy look — perfect for today’s smaller apartments and open-plan homes in Singapore.
The original design features a steam-bent solid wood frame and a woven paper cord seat — inspired by Chinese Ming Dynasty chairs, reinterpreted through modern Scandinavian eyes.
Perfectly Suited for Singaporean Lifestyles
Whether you’re furnishing a minimalist HDB, a modern condo, or a Japandi-style landed home, the sculptural lines and compact footprint of the Wishbone Chair make it a practical and beautiful choice. The open back design improves airflow — a welcome feature in Singapore’s warm climate — while the natural wood finish brings a calming, organic feel into any space.
It’s ideal around dining tables, in study corners, or even as a standalone statement piece in the entryway.
