Wishbone chair

The chair features a bentwood armrest and a paper cord rope seat in a woven envelope pattern.

[5] [The Wishbone chair] is an understated work of simplicity and comfort, its graceful shape hinting at both East Asian design and modernist ideals.In 1948, Holger Hansen of Carl Hansen & Søn and Mogens Tuck of Andreas Tuck together commissioned Wegner to produce nine pieces of furniture.

Wegner would create four tables for Andreas Tuck and four chairs and a sideboard for Carl Hansen & Søn.

The Chinese Chairs were produced for Fritz Hansen starting in 1944 and took inspiration from the round wooden seats of Ming China.

Hansen was originally displeased with Wegner's designs, which he felt looked like garden furniture, and the complexity of the manufacturing required to put the items into production.
