Designed in 1951 by Hans J. Wegner, the Bear Chair was originally manufactured by AP Stolen Denmark. The Papa Bear Chair seems to refer to the animal kingdom with its characteristically playful and organic design. Often called, the most comfortable chair ever made and simply known as model 19, this classic chair has become an icon of mid-century Danish design. Its Danish name translates to "Bear Chair",. Setting the gold standard for general comfort, the Papa Bear Chair is the most popular of the many Wegner designs. The Papa Bear Chair has been remade adhering strictly to the original design with regard to dimensions, frame and pleating. Offered in a variety of fabrics and leathers.
