If there is one chair that is most likely to be found in a dining room near you, it is the Wishbone Chair. An icon of Danish furniture design, the CH24, as it is officially named, was the first collaboration between furniture maker Carl Hansen and designer Hans Wagner.
It’s an elegant, curved frame was inspired by traditional Ming Dynasty chairs, and of course, it earned its nickname from its wishbone-shaped back. With a form that is uniquely its own, the iconic CH24 Wishbone chair holds a special place in the world of modern design.
Beyond its graceful, shapely form, the best attribute of the chair is most certainly versatility. Many home decorators and designers have been seen using the Wishbone chair everywhere from bohemian bedrooms to preppy dining rooms.
Are you wondering how to stylize the iconic Wishbone chair in your own home? Steal a few wishbone styling ideas from the beautiful spaces below.
Modern Simplicity
In a small Chicago apartment, you can place a set of four CH24 chairs by beautifully balancing them with a hide rug, a globe pendant, and a Tulip-style table. This combination is an affordable formula for a chic modern breakfast nook that anyone can pull off.
Organic Glam
A well-known interior designer in his former Los Angeles apartment paired a set of sexy black Wishbone chairs and a glamorous brass hexagonal pendant light with a warm modern dining table and a sisal rug. The beautiful amalgamation of organic elements and glam touches feels vibrant and fresh.
Crisp White
When your home is decorated with colors, sometimes a simple, classic white dining table and the chair is exactly what you require. I remember, one of my friends had decorated her Nashville home with a set of white CH24 Wishbone Chairs that turned out to be a soft, sweet match for a painted blue doorframe and a patterned blue rug.
Global Glitz
If you think that the style trends are just a few with the iconic CH24, think again. In a contemporary, airy California home, the Wishbone Chair meets glitz and global boho alongside a gilded crystal chandelier and patterned cement times.
Palm Pop
So far the Wishbone Chair has been a beacon of simplicity. But these chairs can also be a shapely, edgy addition to a pop art-influenced dining room with a graphic black-and-white striped rug and printed drapes.
Modern Traditional
The Wishbone chair can look quite midcentury. But with industrial-style lighting and a round trestle table, the look can be equal parts contemporary and traditional. So spruce up your kitchen/dining space with this elegant looking Wishbone chair.
Due to the classic beauty the chair holds and the lightness it exudes, the CH24 is named as the most beautiful chair ever in the Danish design history. The Wishbone chair is a perfect example; it is a pure and simple design that is grounded in stability and comfort.
