Description

The idea of making a chair based on the most simple and elegant shape of them all, the circle, remained a distant dream until Hans J. Wegner eventually completed the design at the age of 72. The concept of the Circle Chair matured over a lifetime, and became one of Wegner’s most visionary projects. Although the design initially posed great challenges for PP Møbler’s workshop, as it pushed the limits of what was possible at the time, it eventually became a flagship chair at PP Møbler. Consequently the Circle Chair turned out to be one of Wegner’s most characteristic designs and it still offers great comfort and flexibility. Laminating is possible because wood is flexible and thin pieces are easily bent It is the technique of slicing up wood into thin pieces and gluing them together to form a new shape. This is not as easy as it appears and is a relatively recent invention developed during WWII for the aircraft industry. In producing the Circle Chair we have developed laminating techniques far beyond those that are in industrial use. Wegner himself thought the problem insurmountable and although he conceived the idea of the Circle Chair in 1965 it was not completed until 1986 in collaboration with PP Møbler.
