Be embraced by the great bear paws of this all time comfortable easy chair.
Consider it an investment for life as gifted Danish craftsmen spend a minimum of two weeks hand crafting each chair to the highest standards.
The Papa Bear Chair stands as the archetype for a comfortable easy chair. The strong solid wooden frame constitutes the foundation on which the comprehensive and detailed upholstery work is built.
Four natural materials constitute the comfortable upholstery, cotton, palm leaves, flax fibre, horsehair, and of course metal springs providing sensitive support for the back.
With this kind of genuine upholstery you will have a chair that will wear in rather than wear out. This chair will be softer and even more comfortable with use.
Initiating production of the frames in 1953, the Papa Bear Chair was the first Hans J. Wegner design to be produced at PP Møbler and marks the beginning of a life long passionate collaboration involving generations of craftsmen and countless hours of work in the workshop developing prototypes and production techniques for numerous Wegner models, yet the Papa Bear Chair remains the most exclusive piece of them all.
We build up the shapes gradually with traditional and natural upholstery materials. This process requires experience and days of manual work.
