Papa Bear Armchair and Footrest

Denmark, c. 1950

WEGN 02

Description

Oak, teak, upholstery

Height: 39" - Width: 32.5" - Depth: 32"

Originally titled the AP-19, this armchair became widely known as Papa Bear when a journalist suggested it looked like a bear hugging the sitter from behind. Generously proportioned with its embracing, padded armrests and supported by tapered teak  legs, Hans Wegner's iconic chair is the archetype of comfort and design.
