This year, two icons are celebrating their anniversaries: the Papa Bear Chair turns 75, and the Circle Chair turns 40. Experience both in person at our Berlin showroom — designed by Hans J. Wegner, crafted by PP Møbler.
pp130 – The Circle Chair 1986
At the age of 72, Hans J. Wegner completed the design of the Circle Chair, pushing the limits of what was possible at the time. The round shape is possible by laminating, which is the process of thinly slicing pieces of wood and glueing them together in a new shape.
The chair eventually became a flagship chair at PP Møbler and turned out to be one of Wegner’s most characteristic designs and it still offers great comfort and flexibility.
The Circle chairs comes in the wood option of oak and ash in different treatments.
We welcome you to experience this piece in our Berlin Showroom.
pp19 – The Papa Bear Chair
The Papa Bear Chair is presented as a highly comfortable easy chair designed as a long-term investment piece. It is handcrafted by Danish craftsmen over a minimum of two weeks, emphasizing high standards of traditional workmanship.
Built around a strong solid wooden frame, the chair’s comfort comes from a detailed upholstery system made of cotton, palm leaves, flax fibre, horsehair, and metal springs that provide supportive flexibility for the back.
Its design follows the principle of durability and adaptation: rather than wearing out, the chair is intended to “wear in,” becoming progressively softer and more comfortable with use over time.

pp19 – The Papa Bear Chair
Der „Papa Bear Chair“ präsentiert sich als äußerst komfortabler Sessel, der als langfristige Investition konzipiert ist. Er wird von dänischen Handwerkern in mindestens zweiwöchiger Arbeit von Hand gefertigt, wobei höchster Wert auf traditionelle Handwerkskunst gelegt wird.
Der Sessel basiert auf einem robusten Massivholzgestell; seinen Komfort verdankt er einem aufwendigen Polsteraufbau aus Baumwolle, Palmblättern, Flachsfasern, Rosshaar und Metallfedern, die dem Rücken stützende Flexibilität bieten.
Sein Design folgt dem Prinzip von Langlebigkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit: Anstatt zu verschleißen, soll der Sessel „einlaufen“ – er wird mit der Zeit und bei Gebrauch zunehmend weicher und bequemer.
