Oiled Oak Patterned Seating

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Carl Hansen & Son Launches the Honorary CH Birthday Edition 2023

— April 19, 2023 — Art & Design
Carl Hansen & Son celebrates the birthday of Hans J. Wegner which falls on April 2nd with a special version of the CH24 Wishbone Chair dubbed the CH Birthday Edition 2023 chair. It is made from oiled and FSCTM-certified oak as well as natural paper cord -- which is a material familiar to the brand. The original chair has a envelope-patterned seat but this time, paper cord is used to create a woven pattern.

The CEO and third-generation owner of Carl Hansen & Son, Knud Erik Hansen talks about the new edition, stating “Every year, we aim to create a version that adds something new to the Wishbone Chair without compromising Wegner’s original design. In our view, the double-woven seat does just that, and we’re thrilled to be offering design lovers around the world this new version of the Wishbone Chair.”
