The Carl Hansen & Søn Wishbone Chair (CH24) in Natural Hardwoods celebrates Hans J. Wegner's 1949 masterpiece through the extraordinary beauty of premium solid woods. This curated collection showcases the chair's timeless design through a range of exquisite sustainable hardwoods, each highlighting different grain patterns, colors, and textures that evolve beautifully with age.

Meticulously sourced from responsible Danish and North American sawmills, each wood option reveals the Wishbone Chair's sculptural form in a unique light. Choose from the distinctive open grain of oak in various finishes—from luminous soap-treated to rich oiled, subtle white oil, or dramatic black painted versions. The sophisticated smoked oak variant undergoes a special treatment process that deepens its natural hues while preserving its characteristic grain patterns.

For those seeking warmer tones, the American walnut editions offer deep, chocolate-brown heartwood with occasional lighter streaks, available in both protective lacquer and natural oil finishes. The ash variants provide exceptional strength with striking grain patterns in soap, white oil, or black painted treatments, while beech options offer a smooth, uniform texture in soap, lacquer, or oil finishes.

Each hardwood Wishbone Chair maintains the distinctive Y-shaped back support that defines Wegner's iconic design, providing essential structural integrity to the steam-bent top rail while ensuring exceptional comfort. The seat showcases extraordinary craftsmanship in your choice of natural or black paper cord, with skilled artisans spending approximately one hour weaving 120 meters of cord into a comfortable, durable surface that develops character with age.

These natural hardwood editions emphasize the chair's organic lines and Wegner's profound respect for materials, allowing the inherent beauty of each wood species to enhance the design's timeless appeal—making every chair as unique as the grain patterns within it.
