A Limited Edition Wishbone Chair in my Home!

Paid partnership with Carl Hansen & Søn, all words are my own and I only work with brands I love and think you will too. 
I love chairs. People often think that you need to buy a whole set, and that they’re specifically designed to go round a dining table. But in my mind, chairs are like art. Functional art. And they can look just as beautiful and be practical anywhere in the home. Especially when they are as iconic as the Wishbone chair CH24. This classic Danish beauty, designed by  Hans J. Wegner is over 70 years-old, but you’d never know it thanks to its timeless design. 
I of course love the oak version, but I was also very excited to hear about a new collaboration between danish furniture company Carl Hansen & Søn and London-based designer Ilse Crawford. A partnership which resulted in nine limited edition colour variants of the Wishbone Chair which include soothing earthy tones of Pewter, Hollyhock, Barley, Seaweed, Terracotta, Clay, North Sea, Slate and Falu.
This fine specimen in my bedroom is the ‘Slate’ variation.

The chairs have then be finished in a translucent, non-toxic, water-based paint for depth to the familiar shape and also to allow the natural grain to shine through. Everything else about the chair remains intact including the FSC certified beech and natural cord (on a recent trip to Copenhagen, I watched the weavers in action and the level of craftsmanship was immense!).

It’s been a while since I’ve shown this little corner of my home. Per built these shelves over 15 years ago and they are still going strong! They’re not very solid though, hence why they only hold a whittled down curated display including clay figures by local artists Simon Vendin and a bowl by Helena Gorne, a piece of drift wood picked up on a volcanic beach in Iceland, art by my children and lots of plants and photos!

As I mentioned at the beginning of the post, I think chairs can look lovely in pretty much all rooms of the home. Perhaps my favourite spot for this one is simply against the wall in my bedroom (beside the desk). I like that it means you can more clearly see the outline of the shape. 
Until of course, I cover it in clothes – I give it two days!

I know it would look beautiful by the table too – either as an entire set or one at the end, perhaps one day I’ll move it down, we’ll see! 
Are you a fan of the wishbone chair too? 
If you’re tempted by one of these lovely, soft limited edition hues you’ll need to be quick, once they’re gone, they’re gone (making them a great collectors item). You can see the complete collection over at Carl Hansen & Søn
It’s been ages since I’ve featured my home here, if you’d like to see more corners, check out my home  although, I’m starting to feel some updates are needed so maybe you’re better off looking at my cabin or better still, there are also lots of beautiful home tours to discover in the archive if you’d like some inspiration this weekend! 
I hope you a relaxing couple of days, thank you so much for stopping by.  
Vi ses på måndag!
