'Mini Bear' Easy Chair by Hans Wegner for A.P. Stolen

A very rare first edition of the “Mini Bear” easy chair, designed by Hans Wegner and manufactured in the 1950s by A.P. Stolen in Denmark. A.P. Stolen’s unique ability to translate Wegner’s designs into physical masterpieces through advanced upholstery techniques is undeniably evident here. Soft, flowing yet clearly defined forms; a fully upholstered frame; curved armrests; the harmonious interplay of fabric and wood; tapered legs; and a flared, inviting backrest all come together in a masterful fusion of refined aesthetics, functional purpose, and deeply desirable comfort. From every angle, it is a feast for the eyes. A perfect choice for an open-plan living area. In very good condition, with light signs of use and subtle discoloration consistent with age. Designer / Hans Wegner. Manufacturer / A.P. Stolen. Model / AP-20. Period / 1952-1954. This item has a maker mark.
