At the heart of the collection is the CH24 Children's Wishbone Chair, a faithful miniature of Wegner's iconic design. Crafted in solid oak with a handwoven paper cord seat, it mirrors the elegance and proportions of the original. "The chair consists of 14 solid oak components designed in collaboration with Wegner Design Studio and crafted by skilled craftsmen at Carl Hansen & Søn. Taking over 100 steps to hand-finish and assemble, it features Wegner's signature handwoven paper cord seat in an envelope pattern that takes a skilled craftsman one hour to achieve," the brand explains.

The collection also includes the ND54 High Chair by Nanna & Jørgen Ditzel, originally created in 1954 to meet the designers' own need for a functional yet beautiful chair for their twin daughters. Designed to grow with the child, it features a leather safety strap and an optional backrest. "Three stainless steel name plates invite engraving, turning the piece into a family heirloom that carries memories across generations," Carl Hansen & Søn notes.

Peter's Chair and Table by Hans J. Wegner.
Completing the offering is Peter's Chair and Table by Hans J. Wegner, conceived during World War II as a christening gift for the son of designer Børge Mogensen. Crafted from untreated beech, the chair doubles as a functional piece and an engaging puzzle, easily assembled without tools. The design balances ingenuity with simplicity, encouraging playful interaction while reflecting Wegner's craftsmanship and attention to proportion.
The collection illustrates Carl Hansen & Søn's dedication to merging exceptional design with practical use, fostering an early appreciation for quality furniture. By introducing children to thoughtfully designed objects, the brand continues to inspire new generations of design connoisseurs.
The furniture is available at selected dealers, flagship stores, and via www.carlhansen.com. All lifestyle images and packshots are downloadable through Carl Hansen & Søn's press image bank.
