About the Y Chair Barstool
The Y Barstool is an adaptation of Hans J. Wegner's iconic Y or Wishbone Chair. The name is inspired by the delicate design on the rear of the chair, which offers support for the back as well. A chair that is crafted from Beech, the Y Barstool is a simple and slender design that is available in a natural or walnut finish. Use this barstool in a kitchen or bar area that deserves a luxury, organic piece. The hand-weaved paper code on the seat indicates the high level of detail that has established this chair as an icon.
The story behind the Hans J. Wegner Y Chair Barstool
