The Wishbone Chair, a chair designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1949. The Wishbone Chair, also called Y-Chair, because of the shape of the backrest, is a light weight chair and despite the armrests it remains a subtle-looking design chair. The good cooperation between manufacturer Carl Hansen & Son and designer Hans J. Wegner ensured that several designs by Hans J. Wegner were put into production by this manufacturer. Among other things, the "Classic Chairs".
