PP501 The Chair
PP 501 The Chair by Hans Wegner for PP Mobler.
"The Round One", as Wegner referred to it, is one of his most famous Danish pieces of furniture. In a modest and simple way, it sums up the very essence of Danish wood-working and design philosophy. Designed in 1949, it is deemed the most important work of Hans J Wegner.
When John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon met in the first-ever televised election debate in 1960, they sat in The Round Chair. It was chosen mainly for its comfort and genuine quality - made in Denmark and shipped to the USA to play an important role in this historic event. Eventually, the Americans came up with a new and more telling name for this chair. They called it 'The Chair'.
