- Setting the gold standard for comfort, the Papa Bear chair and ottoman is one of the most popular and enduring of Hans J. Wegner’s designs. Like many of Wegner chairs, such as the ‘Peacock chair’ or the ‘Bull chair’, the Papa Bear Chair invokes the animal kingdom, with its characteristically playful and organic aspects. Apparently, the chair’s idiosyncratic name originates from a critic’s comment referring to the armrests as ‘great paws embracing you from behind’.
- Designed in 1951 by Wegner, the Papa Bear chair and ottoman were originally manufactured by AP Stolen of Denmark and were produced until 1969. For thirty-four years the chair was out-of-production in Europe. In 2003, PP Møbler of Denmark launched the chair and ottoman into its product collection.
