Wegner was a world renowned Danish furniture designer. In his lifetime, he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass-production and many of which have become recognizable design icons.
Born in Denmark in 1914 to a cobbler, the young Wegner was interested in wood-sculpturing from an early age. He completed apprenticeships as a teenager before going to the Danish School of Arts and Crafts and the Architectural Academy in Copenhagen. When architects Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller established a studio together to design and build Åarhus City Hall in 1940, they took Wegner on as a trainee. Even his earliest objects Wegner exhibited a typical approach of "stripping the old chairs of their outer style and letting them appear in their pure construction." It is said that he " always wanted to make unexceptional things of an exceptionally high quality." The most famous of his creations were the Peacock, Kennedy and Wishbone Chairs.

Wegner created his most famous chair in 1949: the CH24. This chair is especially suitable for the dining table and for living rooms, where it convinces with its timeless elegance. The surprisingly comfortable design classic from Carl Hansen still has a weightless and attractive appearance. The chair is an exceptional example for the continuous search for organic simplicity, comfort and stability in the design of Hans J. Wegner’s products. The iconic appearance of the Wishbone Chair transformed it into a top seller among Wegner’s designs. The CH24 is also known as “The Chair” among design enthusiasts in Denmark – hardly another quality could describe the classic chair from Hans J. Wegner better. The characteristic “Y” in the backrest of the CH24 ensures comfortable sitting, it stabilizes the steam bent backrest at the same time and it is also the reason for the chair, which is as well-known as “Y Chair”.
