How do you weave a wish?

Please join DWR and Carl Hansen & Son for a special evening to celebrate the authentic Wishbone Chair and meet master craftsman Benny Hammer Larsen from the factory in Denmark. On the job for 20 years, Larsen will demonstrate his skill in weaving the paper cord that forms Wishbone’s distinctive seat. Carl Hansen & Son has been making the wishbone to Hans J. Wegner’s original specifications since its introduction in 1950. Wine and light fare will be served. One lucky guest will win a Wishbone Chair.
RSVP to pr@dwr.com by October 6.
Wednesday, October 8, 6pm, DWR SoHo Studio, 110 Greene St. (between Prince and Spring), New York, NY 10012, Phone: 212.475.0001.
