was designed in 1945 and became the quintessential modern outcome of Wegner’s studies of traditional Chinese chairs from the Ming Dynasty.

The “Round One” as Wegner referred to it with his usual provincial modesty, is one of the most famous Danish pieces of furniture — and certainly most distinctly Danish. In its own modest and simple way, it sums up the very essence of traditional Danish woodworking and design philosophy. It is considered the magnum opus of Hans J. Wegner.

The continuity in shape and philosophy is obvious but designed for a different purpose, Wegner created a smaller chair that would easily fit underneath the table thus making it more suitable for the dining set.

The Valet Chair is a functional sculpture that applies the traditional function of a valet stand to an elaborately crafted wooden chair. The back leg is carved in shape to offer both a comfortable backrest and a proper hanger for a jacket or a coat.

The Swivel Chair is an uncompromising tool with comfort and ergonomics as overriding considerations. The top bar, made of solid wood and twisted like a propeller, is separated from the remaining frame and completed at the very limit of what is possible for full ergonomic advantage.

Revising the old Chinese Chair, the pp201 | pp203 First Chair combines the aesthetics of the pp701 Minimal Chair with the construction of the pp66 Chinese Chair thus creating a new expression, where the strict geometrically defined frame supports only the most prudent use of those organic shapes so characteristic of Wegner’s work through the 1950’s.

This is the most static and classic of all Wegner’s chairs. Its frame is strictly geometrical and the armrests embrace the person seated while the gracious backrest provides state of the art comfort.

pp68/pp58

In the late years of a long glorious career with an extensive line of masterpieces acknowledged worldwide and a number of significant awards already achieved, Hans J. Wegner aged 73 designed the pp68/pp58 as his final round back arm chair.

The three-legged version of pp58 is named pp58/3. More simple in shape and stackable, yet with the same basic characteristics as its predecessor: Excellent comfort, practical and with a strength and durability to outlast daily use for generations. Though the chair only has three legs, it is remarkably stable, and the triangular rail structure under the seat allows the simplest possible construction of the chair.

For extensive comfort the Conference Chair is designed with the purpose of providing comfortable seating throughout an entire day and the following evening, if that proves necessary.

The Peacock Chair is historically anchored in the classic British Windsor Chair. As were the case with many of his early works, Wegner updated his sources of inspiration to a modern version while adding sophisticated details that required the greatest accuracy from highly skilled craftsmen.

The Folding Chair was presented alongside the Round Chair at the legendary 1949 Cabinetmakers’ Guild’s Autumn Exhibition that marked the breakthrough for Wegner. The basic lines pays homage to the Barcelona Chair by the renowned Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe while Wegner gave it a folding mechanism that would add stability to the construction and made it out of pure natural materials.

The Upholstered Peacock is, as the name implies, an upholstered interpretation of the pp550 Peacock Chair from 1947, one of Wegner’s all time classics and one of his personally most beloved designs.

Conceived in 1954 the Tub Chair was a pioneering experiment and it turned out to be the most advanced shell chair design Wegner created as the back of the chair is a complicated double bent shell comprising of two individual shapes. One that is bent and one that is both bent and twisted.

Wegner’s primary material was always solid wood. Nevertheless, having designed the pp550 Peacock Chair in 1947, it was not until 1968 that Wegner created an expressive easy chair with solid wood as the dominant material, namely the Web Chair.

Rocking is a wonderful way to relax and when applied well it will allow a chair to offer some unique features. A well made rocking chair provides various seating angles and is easy to access and exit. With the pp124 Wegner has created a sophisticated and comfortable rocking chair with particular attention to thorough craftsmanship and functionality.

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.

With a frame made of solid stainless steel, 240 metres of specially developed flag line forming the seat and back and a long-haired sheepskin softening the industrial sharpness of the steel, the Flag Halyard Chair constitutes the pinnacle of luxury and relaxation.

The Deck Chair is true to the goal that its name implies. The Deck Chair is a meticulous piece of craftsmanship that forms an archetype for what a luxurious deck chair looks like. Nevertheless, it refers to a number of earlier Wegner designs and its design is derived from the pp512 Folding Chair and the beautiful but rare Dolphin Chairs adding an adjustment mechanism for the back very similar to the one on the pp530 Tub Chair.

The Hammock Chair is a remarkable sculpture made to offer a tangible relaxing experience. The beautiful curves balanced with the sturdy moulded wood construction and the flag line pattern with an excessive elegance elevates this bold design into one of Wegner’s truly unique creations.

Feeling confident about the strength and agility found in the pp66 Chinese Chair, Wegner took up the challenge to design a bench with an even stronger character.

Wegner designed the Bar Bench for his own private entrance hall. Employing simple means, the bench provides practical intermediate seating while appearing like a transparent unit, blending in with the surrounding interior and light.

Hans J. Wegner designed the exquisite pp571 Architect’s Desk in 1953 as a match to the Round Chair. Later in 1955 he designed the Swivel Chair, completing a line of exclusive masterpieces for the CEO’s office. The desk marks the beginning of Wegner’s work on combining sharp steel and sculptural solid wood in elegant and well-balanced solutions.

This is classic Danish craftsmanship offering simple and modest functionality in solid wood. As a counter experiment, this desk pays homage to pure, traditional and exquisite woodwork. Although the thorough and dedicated attention of a skilled cabinetmaker is required in executing the work on this desk, the job can be done with relatively simple tools.

The Paper Basket was designed for Aarhus townhall. Wegner was assigned by Arne Jacobsen to design all of the interiors for this prestigious project. This resulted in many interesting chairs and desks, some of which were only produced for the project.

The pp75 Stayed Table is the result of an arduous design process, in which Wegner sought to maximise both the knee and legroom for those sitting at the table. To accomplish this, Wegner created a beautiful dining table with legs joined in the centre. He used geometric theory to support the solid wood tabletop with as little strain and as much space as possible.

pp-mobel > Table

Wegner designed the Round Table for PP Møbler in 1975, because he thought that many of his chairs lacked a suitable table of high quality. The idea behind this table was to create a simple and genuine, round dining table that would honour the uncompromising philosophy of woodwork as practiced by PP Møbler.

The Cross Legged Table is an attestation to Wegner’s ability to utilise very few means while still creating optimal designs. In fact, this table could hardly be simpler. And yet, Wegner combines the total sum of the individual components and manages to create an aesthetic experience out of the ordinary.

With this table, Wegner has downscaled the pp85 Cross Legged Table and created a table that serves a different purpose. And whereas this excercise usually don’t work for most objects, the crossing legs and simple stretchers makes such a superbly balanced design concept that this smaller version has got a natural beauty and function of it’s own.

The pp35 Tray Table offers the most refined balance between functionalism and purity. Made of all solid wood shaped and joined using the most simple geometry, it provides a very basic flexible and practical application.
