Okay, here's a layup: my favorite three Wegner side chairs and a radical tip - TRY MIXING THEM UP (no one ever does that). The idea comes from the picture above, which I saw on the Bulthaup website...

1. Wegner 1962 - ch36

2. Wegner 1956 - ch20

3. Wegner 1950 - ch24 (the Wishbone)
>> Carl Hansen - manufacturer
>> Hive Modern - good source
>> Room & Board - good source
The CH20 seems out of place, obviously because it doesn't share the weaving. The wishbone chairs almost look like the end chairs to the other one, though.
I like this idea. I'm a big fan of Wegner chairs, but don't see myself splurging on 4-6 at once, nor can I really choose just one. This way I can acquire them one by one, but they all "match."

not such a fan of the ch36. i'm more of a shellback, ch23, ch30 fan. but can you really go wrong here?
i have several friends with mixed dining chair "collections" (meaning flea market finds of some significance or value), and like dale chiluly in a prior AT post, have a weakness for chairs. love the idea of mixing them....one's own wegner collection. imagine a chinese chair with the wishbone. also, mixing them would permit you to buy vintage singles over time and at less cost - as pairs and groups command premiums at auction and retail.

Oh I will get right on mixing and matching ALL of my huge collection of Wegner chairs.
Riiight. If only.
Not a big fan of the ch36. Too many similar or imitations of it out there at this point. Takes the wind out of this one (for me).

Why isn't anyone talking about that heavenly table??? It's gor-jus. It's so elegant and delicate, perfect for a small ish dining room, but you can put 8 people at it easy. Where is it from?? Does anyone know?
