Hans J Wegner’s Classic “Papa Bear” Lounge Chair

Hans J Wegner’s Papa Bear Chair (1951) formerly known as the Teddy Bear is my idea of classical mid-century modern furniture that will never face the calendar in a stand off with “out of date”. The pseudo wing back design and tufts offer a timeless appeal that Wegner’s famous Scandinavian chairs have become well known for. The Papa Bear PP19 was re-released in 2003 in a selection of fabrics and leathers starting at a manufacturer’s list price of just over $12K 35.4″ W x 37.4″ D x 39.8″ H
