Description
Vintage Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair, arguably the most sought after Mid-century modern chair on the planet, and for good reason..It is supremely comfortable and built to last. The iconic Papa Bear chair is restored to excellent vintage condition. The chair features beautiful afromosia (african teak) legs and teak paws.
This chair, while created during the Mid-century modern era, is timeless, iconic pieces of functional art that would look incredible in almost any contemporary environment. They would effortlessly blend into modern, regency and even traditional decor.
The Papa Bear Chair, also known as the Teddy Bear Chair, was designed by Hans Wegner in 1951. The chair is named for its large, welcoming form, which is reminiscent of a bear's embrace. The Papa Bear Chair is characterized by its curved backrest, which extends up and around the sides of the chair to create armrests that are both comfortable and supportive. The chair's seat is also curved and angled slightly downward, creating a comfortable and relaxed sitting position.
*This chair is under restoration. Upholstery can be customized. Please contact us for details. Wood restoration and fabric/leather included in the price (some exceptions may apply)*
