Hans Wegner Wishbone Chair / CH24

Hans J. Wegner is considered one of the most creative and productive Danish furniture designers. He is often referred to as the master of the chair – having designed more than 500 of them; many of these, including the Wishbone Chair, the Elbow Chair and the Shell Chair are considered masterpieces of chair design and continue to be collector’s items around the world. 

  

Wegner received practically every major recognition given to designers, including the Lunning prize, the grand prix of the Milan Triennale, Sweden’s Prince Eugen medal and the Danish Eckersberg medal. Wegner was an honorary Royal designer for industry of the Royal Society of Arts in London. Almost all of the world’s major design museums – from The Museum of Modern Art in New York to Die Neue Sammlung in Munich – include his furniture in their collections.
