Special edition CH24 Soft: Hans J. Wegner’s icon with a matte finish

Build your own collection with the CH24 Soft, a gentle variation on Hans J. Wegner’s Wishbone Chair from 1950.

Just like the original, the special edition is timelessly elegant with its clean and characteristic expression. The CH24 Soft has an irresistible matte finish, available on five of our classic colors: black, gray, white, green and red.

The new finish has an inviting quality that tempts the gaze to follow along the backrest and your hand to do the same. Furthermore the coating makes it easier to maintain the chair, keeping the timeless design looking even cleaner

Think of CH24 Soft as a gentle counterpart to a Wishbone Chair with a brighter finish. Or maybe as a subtle contrast to Hans J. Wegner’s CH327 dining table in soap-treated beech.

Hans J. Wegner

As a driving force behind 'Danish Modern', Hans J. Wegner helped change the general public's view of furniture in the 1950s and 1960s. His passion for designing chairs, more than 500 of them, is recognized worldwide and reflected in his title 'the Master of the Chair'. He is famous for integrating perfectly executed joints with exquisite shapes and combining them with a constant curiosity for materials and deep respect for wood and its natural characteristics. His designs furnish minimalism with organic and natural softness. Hans J. Wegner was born in 1914 in Tønder in Southern Denmark, the son of a shoemaker. At the age of 17, he completed his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in the workshop of H. F. Stahlberg where his first designs saw the light of day. At the age of twenty he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, to attend the School of Arts and Crafts, where he studied from 1936-1938 before embarking on a career as an architect.
