The Wishbone Chair

The Wishbone Chair was designed in 1949 by Danish designer Hans J. Wegner for furniture company Carl Hansen & Søn. The classic chair has been in production since 1950, and is always been handmade by the finest craftsman. The chair is made of 14 parts, and requires 100 separate processes, which takes around 3 weeks to complete.

What’s so impressive with Wegner’s chair designs is that they’re over 50 years old, but still look very modern. He was ahead of his time.

Design Milk got a behind-the-scenes look at how the chair is made, and they took some great photos of the process.

The video above also gives a glimpse into the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every chair. They are expensive, but worth every penny.
