Many consider Hans Wegner's iconic CH24, the Supermodel of Chairs . It has been on the cover of so many interior design magazines around the world and still in production since 1950. The Wishbone Chair, or Y chair, is Wegner's most popular design and gets its name from the slim flattened ring in its back that arches out to meet a top rail that nestles under your arms. Asked by the son of Carl Hansen to produce a chair similar to his China chair. Wegner was keen to try his hand at a lighter and more modern version. By using a \"Y\" as support for the steam-bent back and armrest and by giving the back legs a twist forward from the seat in order to bring them up to support the arms, he was able to give this new dining char a more sculpture form than earlier incarnations. Furthermore, the lower, shorter arms allowed the chair to come closer to the table while giving the sitter a huge amount of movement.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe seat is made of paper cord which time has shown was stronger and more elastic than seaweed. The seat is intricately handwoven by a team-taught by dedicated master craftsmen. When done correctly paper cord can last up to 50 years.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn offer are 2 vintage Hans Wegner Chairs.
