Hans Wegner Wishbone Dining Chair, Black

Wishbone Dining Chair, Black – Iconic Danish Design in a Bold Finish

The Wishbone Dining Chair, Black brings timeless midcentury form into today’s interiors with a dramatic, modern edge. First designed in 1949 and inspired by traditional Chinese Ming chairs, this silhouette remains a hallmark of minimalist Scandinavian craftsmanship. Its solid beech wood frame and single rounded splat back create an elegant profile that enhances dining rooms, offices, restaurants, or lounges.

The woven seat, made from 100% natural hemp cord, offers breathable comfort and a breezy, light aesthetic. Despite its airy design, this chair is built for everyday use—offering a 275 lb weight capacity and sturdy construction. The black frame provides a striking contrast that works well in both monochromatic and warm-toned spaces.

With clean lines and enduring comfort, this piece isn’t just seating—it’s a historical design statement made practical for modern living.
