Description
Hans J. Wegner designed the world-renowned Wishbone Chair (CH24) in 1949 for Carl Hansen & Søn, and it has constantly been in production for 70 years.
London-based designer Ilse Crawford has designed nine new colours for the iconic CH24 Wishbone Chair - one new colour every month over nine months.
All colours are eco-friendly, water-based and resilient. The wood is painted beech, the seat natural coloured paper yarn.
The 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.”
“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. “We were inspired by the paintings of Danish artist Per Kirkeby, who beautifully reflected his interest in nature. These are not standard colours governed by the trends of the time, but colours that add depth and complexity to any interior.”
The colours are available each month - please contact us to order the colours in advance.
