Featured in dining rooms across the globe, this true mid-century design icon from Danish designer Hans J Wegner is now available at Pash Classics. The Wishbone Chair and its beautifully elegant form can be spotted in many stylish homes, and it is loved not only for its unique details but also for its most certainly versatile design.
We’ve seen wishbone dining chairs being used in various interior settings, including contemporary, Scandinavian, and Bohemian homes. In this article, we’d like to share with you our top 8 ways in which you can style our wishbone chairs to create your dream dining room.
What We Love About Wegner Style Wishbone Chairs
With a few different names, including the Y-Chair and the CH24 Chair, at Pash, we love the Wishbone Chair for its timeless design and effortless nature. Its design seems to be able to uplift any interior setting while seamlessly blending in. It is the perfect balance between statement and complementary furniture.
Available in a curated collection, you will find 6 colour variations available to purchase, starting with the iconic black wishbone chairs adored by many. If you are considering buying one or more chairs for your home, here are 8 ways in which you can style yours whilst staying true to your own interior design style.
1. Enhance Your Dining Room With Biophilic Design
In one of our previous blog posts about Biophilic Interior Design, we talked about the importance of connecting your home with nature and bringing the outdoors in.
The Wishbone Chairs in Beech Wood or Walnut Wood variations create this elegant connection to nature for your dining room effortlessly. These organic colours are highly versatile, can work with any colour scheme, and can be easily paired with contrasting Tulip Tables or matching wooden tables.
2. Make The Chair A Statement As A Standalone Piece
Who says you need to conform to the design’s purpose for the dining room? For example, you can use a Black Wishbone Chair as a stand-alone chair in your living room, bedroom, or hallway. This is because its stylish form can create a really effective piece that can be added to any room.
If you want to add more contrast to your space, you can look at adding a modern skin throw or cushion to the chair.
3. Bring The Chair Into The 21st Century
Designed in the mid-century, the design of our Wishbone Chairs is timeless, as it looks as good today as it did 70 years ago when it was first introduced to the world.
One of the reasons it has become such an iconic piece of furniture is because of the chair’s ability to be used in a wide variety of interior styles.
4. Mix And Match Your Dining Furniture
A rule of thumb regarding dining room design and how to make the most out of your space is playfulness and testing with your dining furniture.
We love the look of using a range of different dining chairs, as it gives a laid-back look and much more opportunities to inject your personality into your dining room. One way to mix things up is to keep the chair consistent but change the colours around the dining table. This keeps a level of consistency, which makes the approach easy to achieve, whilst still pulling off informal yet stylish dining spaces.
You could look at mixing a chair’s style, colours, materials, or eras, however, one tip we have for you when mixing different dining chairs is to find chairs that have a consistent height so the seating arrangements feel levelled.
5. A Desk Chair For Your Home Office
If you’re looking for a stylish seat for your home office, we would recommend one of our Wishbone Chairs as an affordable variation. The clean Danish design can be complemented with another Danish design from Arne Jacobsen, the AJ Desk, and Floor Lamps.
For a more suitable seating option in your home office, we would recommend our range of office chairs that have been ergonomically designed to support you in day-to-day work.
6. Be Inspired By The Mid-Century Look
You can get inspired by the influential era of mid-century modern design. The Wishbone Chairs are just one of the iconic designs of the era, as Hans J Wegner also designed a similar concept in an accent chair, the Shell Chair. Both designs feature organic materials and soft, curvaceous forms.
Are you looking to contrast the designs? Then we would recommend Harry Bertoia’s Wire Chairs collection. Both designs boast unique forms, where one utilises natural materials, and the other uses modern and industrial materials.
7. Be Daring With Your Dining Chairs
Our collection of Wishbone Chairs features a Dark Green Wood and a Dark Blue Wood colour variation which adds a unique colour combination without deviating away from the dramatic and versatile design. These colours were carefully chosen to still complement a range of settings while being different from the classic colours.
8. Contrast Straight Lines And Soft Curves
The Wishbone’s elegant form features organic curves that can be contrasted with a rectangular or square dining table. The strong lines are even more striking when paired with a contrasting piece as they balance your dining room with an organic yet modern aesthetic.
Final Thoughts
We hope that our blog offered you the much-needed inspiration you were seeking when trying to style your Wishbone Chairs. Comfort is where these modern pieces of furniture come into their own, as they have a well-deserved reputation for reliability and comfort for more than 70 years.
