Rattan & Corded Chairs FAQs

What is a Wishbone chair?

The Wishbone chair, also known as the CH24 or Y Chair, was designed by Danish architect Hans J. Wegner in 1949. Its distinctive Y-shaped backrest and handwoven paper cord seat have made it a timeless piece in mid-century modern and Scandinavian interiors.

What are the benefits of choosing a rattan or corded chair?

Rattan and corded chairs combine natural beauty with functionality. Rattan is lightweight yet durable, making it ideal for both indoor and light outdoor use. The natural fibres of rattan and cord offer breathability, comfort, and a relaxed, bohemian aesthetic. These chairs are also eco-friendly, as rattan is a renewable resource, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic materials.

Are Wishbone style chairs easy to maintain?

Yes, maintaining a Wishbone style chair is simple. The wood frame should be cleaned regularly with a soft cloth. For the woven seat, vacuum or wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. The paper cord will soften over time, developing a unique patina. Be sure to avoid damp environments as moisture can weaken the fibres.
