Over the course of six years, John Pawson applied the ideas gathered during his illustrious career to transform the dilapidated property into a vision of simplicity. Inside, plastered walls, elm floorboards, and exposed stonework and wooden beams create a deeply calming interior that showcases the quiet beauty of natural materials. True to form, Pawson ensured Home Farm remained starkly furnished. Only one piece was permitted in abundance: the CH24 Wishbone Chair by Hans J. Wegner.
“It was a no-brainer,” says Pawson of his decision to include a number of Wishbone Chairs in elm in different rooms throughout Home Farm. In the barn, a monastic kitchen with a vaulted ceiling and full-height window features only a long dining table with six Wishbone Chairs gathered neatly around it. In other corners of the property, it can be found in use as an armchair or sat in front of a desk. “I don’t really like stuff so the less furniture I can have the better,” notes Pawson. “For me, this is definitely the number one chair in history. It’s the absolute definition of minimum.”
The choice of Carl Hansen & Søn furniture:
“I remember the first time I saw the CH24 Wishbone Chair. I was struck by how light and strong it was, by the lyrical clarity of its lines, and how everyone looked good sitting in it. It's a chair you can't really improve on.”
