Hans Wegner Wishbone Dining Chair, White

Wishbone Dining Chair – 1949 Icon with Timeless Elegance

The Wishbone Dining Chair, designed in 1949, remains one of the most iconic silhouettes in midcentury furniture design. Drawing inspiration from classic Danish portraits of merchants seated on Ming-style chairs, this piece fuses history, elegance, and everyday functionality. Ideal for dining rooms, restaurants, lounges, and office environments, it adapts seamlessly to residential or commercial spaces.

Built with a solid beech wood frame, the Wishbone Dining Chair features a sculptural, rounded single splat back that offers ergonomic support with clean lines. The seat is hand-woven from 100% natural hemp cord, delivering breathable comfort and textural appeal. The chair’s lightweight construction and minimal profile make it visually unobtrusive yet deeply stylish.

It’s available in a variety of frame finishes including black, white, walnut, and natural—giving you the flexibility to match any design scheme. Durable enough for daily use and visually refined for designer interiors, this chair strikes the ideal balance between function and form.
