PP58/68, the ultimate chair designed by Hans Wegner for PP Møbler Danish company

What is left to do after a long glorious carrier with a long line of design master pieces acknowledged by the whole world and a number of significant awards already achieved? For Hans J. Wegner the answer was obvious: In 1987, 73 years old, he designed the pp58/pp68 as his final basic chair for PP Møbler.

Genuine in all aspects - comfortable, practical, strong, durable and affordable, the PP58 is one of the very best chair on the market. Benefitting from a life's experience within furniture design he was determined to let this particular design be guided by the total learnings of his previous works.

All solid wood joined with tenons proved by testing to withstand one ton of pulling strength - for each joint. Designed to be comfortable in alternate seating positions making it a delightful experience to be seated for hours. At an affordable price (around 700 euros public price) it will last out everyday use throughout your life - and your children's and your grandchildren's making it sustainable by the very essence of the term - both in an economic and an ecological sense. All in all a strong final contribution from one of the world's biggest furniture designers. The simple conclusion to an incredible life's work.

pp58 has an upholstered seat, whereas pp68 has a plaited seat available in either natural colour or black. pp58 is also available in a three legged version pp58/3. It comes with either a plywood seat or with an upholstered seat.
