The CH24 Wishbone Chair in 9 soft colours
Hans J. Wegner x Ilse Crawford
CH24 SOFT IN 9 COLOURS
To celebrate Hans J. Wegner’s more than 70 years of collaboration with Carl Hansen & Søn in 2022, the company expanded its collaboration with London-based designer Ilse Crawford to include the Wishbone Chair in nine new colours.
Hans J. Wegner designed the world-renowned Wishbone Chair (CH24) in 1949 at Carl Hansen & Søn, which has produced the chair continuously for more than 70 years. To celebrate this milestone, Ilse Crawford has selected nine matte colours that give the chair a new perspective. All colours are eco-friendly, water-based and resilient, so they are perfect for both private and public use.
“We wanted to develop a range of colours that reflect the times we live in, and we believe these subdued tones will resonate with a contemporary audience,” says Ilse Crawford.
“These are not standard colours governed by the trends of the time, but colours that add depth and complexity to any interior.” The picturesque colours celebrate plants, minerals and the soil that make up the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape, and they work both individually and in interaction with each other. “Colours are so closely related to our emotions and our mood,” Crawford says, “and we believe that these subdued tones will help create a warm, relaxed and natural environment.”
The colour palette by Ilse Crawford has been available since 2022 and celebrates Carl Hansen & Søn and Hans J. Wegner’s more than 70 years of collaboration.
