PP129 Web Chair, 1968

PP129 Web Chair by Hans Wegner for PP Mobler.

Hans Wegner’s Web Chair has remained one of his most iconic designs since its creation in 1968. Its playful and ample armrests reveal Wegner’s love of shaping solid wood, while at the same time the chair manifests the distinct idea of transparency in a sturdily constructed and comfortable lounge chair.

The history of the Web Chair reveals Wegner’s insistence on artistic integrity. Despite the expressive use of solid wood, Wegner introduced the Web Chair by showcasing six chairs all painted bright red.
