Sweep into the classic, timeless appeal of mid-century modern design with this authentic Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair and Ottoman. Both pieces were manufactured by the renowned A.P. Stolen in the 1950s, one of the golden ages of Danish furniture design. As proof of their authenticity, both the chair and ottoman bear the original manufacturer's stamp.
The Papa Bear Chair is more than a piece of furniture—it's a piece of art. With its distinctive, playful silhouette, this chair is an icon of mid-century modern design. The broad, welcoming arms seem to open up in a warm embrace, hence the name 'Papa Bear'. It's not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers great comfort, perfect for relaxing after a long day.
Both the chair and ottoman are constructed with high-quality teak wood, a material well-loved for its durability and warm color. These pieces have been professionally refinished, preserving their vintage charm while giving them a fresh, revitalized look.
Adding to the chair's appeal, it has been expertly reupholstered in black Lugano leather, a luxurious, top-grain aniline leather. The textured leather adds depth and character to the chair, creating a stunning contrast with the rich teak wood. Its black hue gives the chair a modern twist, making it suitable for a range of interior styles—from mid-century modern to contemporary.
The ottoman echoes the chair's design and materials, providing the perfect place to put your feet up and relax in style. This chair and ottoman set are not just pieces of furniture but a testament to the enduring appeal of mid-century Danish design.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a piece of design history. This authentic, beautifully restored Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair and Ottoman set offers an undeniable statement of taste and a timeless addition to any home.
