Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair
We’re very pleased to offer this rare Papa Bear chair designed by Hans Wegner. This chair comes from the original owners and was first purchased in 1957. The family had it reupholstered in 1998, and the upholsterer kept all the fine details correct to the original. The chair is in excellent condition, extremely comfortable. A nice opportunity to add an iconic mid-century chair to your home, created by one of the eras most influential designers.
