The Round Chair by Hans J. Wegner for PP Møbler is considered by many to be nothing less than the most beautiful seat of all time. Designed in 1949, it is known in America simply as "The Chair", the chair par excellence, where it immediately gained great notoriety by helping to popularize the style of Danish modernism in the USA. It was so famous overseas that it was also used in one of the most followed electoral debates between two presidential candidates, that of 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Extremely simple and archetypal yet undeniably modern, the Round Chair was one of Wegner's first completely original designs, designed without drawing inspiration from any of the styles of the past. Each of its elements is slightly rounded and without corners, thus giving it the effect of welcoming grace that distinguishes it. It is available in the PP501 versions, with rope seat, and PP503, with upholstered seat.

Designed by
Hans J. Wegner
Hans Jørgen Wegner (1914-2007) is one of the key figures in the history of Danish design, considered by many to be the best chair designer of the entire twentieth century. He has designed over 500 chairs in his career, including models with immortal fame such as the very famous Wishbone Chair. The son of a shoemaker, Wegner was trained as a cabinetmaker and remained tied to the use of wood throughout his career. Strongly influenced by the models of the Scandinavian artisan tradition, he subjected the heritage of tradition to a continuous process of purification and simplification, making the shapes more harmonious and organic and pursuing perfect functionality. After working for some years in Arne Jacobsen's studio, he collaborated often during the war years also with his great friend Børge Mogensen. His greatest successes came from the 1950s and from his union with the Carl Hansen & Søn company, but his collaborations with the brands PP Møbler, Fritz Hansen, Erik Jørgensen, Fredericia and Getama have also left an indelible mark in the history of design.Read more
