High-quality reproduction inspired by Hans J. Wegner's design. Our Wishbone Chair, also known as is the "Y Chair," was designed in 1949 by the Danish designer Hans Wegner. Considered the most beautiful chair of its era by design experts, it was inspired by the shape of antique Chinese chairs from the Ming dynasty. A masterpiece of Scandinavian design. As a natural material, wood is subject to effects of the environment including temperature and humidity levels. Chairs are not made from a single solid block of wood and are assembled using dowels and glue. Unlike a metal chair that is welded or a plastic chair that is made in a single mold, based on use and conditions these dowels and glue can loosen over time and may require regular maintenance to keep them performing. Due to the common nature of this upkeep, regardless of manufacturer, resources are readily available online or through your local upholstery or millwork supplier. This is not considered a defect or a warranty issue.
