PP502 Swivel Chair
PP 502 Swivel Chair by Hans Wegner for PP Mobler.
The PP502 Swivel chair was designed in response to a comment from Egill Snorrason, a Consultant, Professor and Doctor of Medicine, who critiqued the Danish design and furniture trade for not paying attention to ergonomics.
Although disappointed in the furniture trade at the time, Snorrason praised Hans J. Wegner's Cow Horn Chair, citing it as a good example of ergonomics. Wegener used a similar backrest for the PP502, which also features adjustable height and a swivel seat.
As with many of Wegner's designs, ergonomics and aesthetics took precedence over cost-minimising industrial production. The PP502 presents significant challenges for the joiner, the upholsterer, and the blacksmith, as it requires time-consuming work that must not be compromised in any way.
The chair is manufactured with limited production due to the extraordinary wood sourcing and drying process.
