Danish design in context … architecture, design, style and travel in the Nordic countries
This chair is testament to the imagination of Hans Wegner and to the technical skills of the cabinetmakers PP Møbler.
Wegner first considered making a chair based on a large circle in 1965 but it took 20 years to put the design into production. Wegner thought that such a large circle could only be made in metal and it was Ejnar Pedersen, a founder of PP Møbler, who persuaded Wegner that it could be made in wood.
