PP503 / Round Chair

The “Round One”, as Hans J. Wegner referred to it with his usual provincial modesty, is one of the most famous Danish pieces of furniture — and certainly the most distinctly Danish. In its own modest and simple way, it sums up the very essence of traditional Danish woodworking and design philosophy. It is considered the magnum opus of Hans J. Wegner. The armrest of the round chair is made of three pieces, each cut from solid wood from a shelter tree that is approximately 150 to 200 years old, the age at which most trees naturally begin to rot.
