Product Details

Product Description

The oak deckchair, model PP-524, was created by the talented Danish designer, Hans J. Wegner in 1958. Wegner was a celebrated artist, famous for his furniture designs, with over 500 chair designs to his name, over 100 of which went into mass production and became renowned design icons. His pieces are appreciated for both their beauty and their functionality, resulting in numerous prizes and accolades throughout his career. Many of his designs are now firmly ensconced in permanent collections of esteemed museums worldwide, including the MoMa in New York, the Stedelijk museum in Amsterdam and Die Neue Sammlung in Munich. The deckchair shares similar construction with the PP-512 folding chair, which Wegner also designed in 1958. PP Møbler, the Danish furniture manufacturer, only ever made these chairs by order, or in very small quantities, using soap-treated oak or ash. This particular chair, made of oak and flag halyard, features a stainless steel adjustment mechanism for the back and comes with its original sand-colored canvas head cushion, with the additionally sold sheepskin option. This limited-edition deckchair, marked as production number 28 out of 30, was made entirely by hand in 2005 by the expert craftsmen at PP Møbler. It still bears the original label and is in good overall condition, consistent with both its age and usage. The frame is marked by the production label, visible in the pictures, and comes with a literature reference to Christian Holmsted's Wegner. Just One Good Chair. In its upright position, the chair measures L. 159 cm x W. 64 cm x H. 91 cm, and when collapsed, L. 171 cm x W. 64 cm x H. 45 cm.
