I am very interested in building a set of dining chairs similar to Han Wegner’s CH23. Does anyone know where to find plans of something similar?

I couldn't find any plans that fit that chair imo.
This may help you figure things out, though, and is where I'd start.

If you know the chair you want to build I’d get close up pics of the chair and draw it out at 1/8” scale. Then make a model off that drawing. Proportions can be made and tweaked during the model phase.
Once a full sized drawing is made from a scaled drawing you get the patterns and joinery layout right from the drawing.
This is probably how we should all aspire unless one is creating an exact reproduction of a piece but how many times can we do that?
