“The chair does not exist. The good chair is a task one is never completely done with.”
Hans Wegner (1914-2007) was one of the many iconic midcentury Scandinavian furniture designers. While he’s famous for a slew of chairs, probably his most well-known (and my personal favorite) is the Papa Bear armchair.
You can find Papa Bears in a dizzying array of fabrics and colors, with or without the matching ottoman. Here are a few of my favorite examples from the web, by themselves and in rooms. If you ever find one of these for a good price, snatch it up right quick!
