Wegner designed this stool as an accessory to the pp19 Teddy Bear Chair. But despite this specific match, it naturally accompanies most other easy chairs in PP Møbler’s product line. Wegner clearly demonstrated this himself at several occasions presenting the stool along with many other easy chairs. In this way, the stool exemplifies a similar kind of universal design as the pp35 Tray Table.

The stool is a strong construction with legs that penetrate and interlock with the solid beech wood frame using traditional joinery, and the upholstery is made of horsehair and cotton. It may seem as a trivial product, but it is a genuine piece of exquisite crafts.

Son of a shoe-maker in southern Jutland, Hans Wegner, finished his formal training as a cabinetmaker with master cabinetmaker Stahlberg in 1930 before starting at Teknologisk Institut in Copenhagen. He soon moved to the School of Arts and Crafts in the Danish capital where he became architect in 1938, and started teaching in 1946.

In 1940 he joined Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller in Arhus, to design the furniture for the new Arhus city hall. He started to work with 'minister' cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen in 1940 and showed his first furniture in the famous Hansen store on Bredgade 65 in 1941. Johannes Hansen was more than twice as old as the 26 year old Wegner but the unique collaboration between the two became the undisputed backbone of Danish furniture design and the main reason for it's world wide recognition in the fifties and sixties. The Copenhagen Museum of Art and Industry acquired the first Wegner chair in 1942.

In 1943 he started his own design office and 1 year later designed the first of a long series of 'chinese' chairs inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming chairs for Fritz Hansen. In 1950 Wegner designed the “Wishbone Chair” produced by Carl Hansen & Søn in Odense which became the most successful of all Wegner chairs. Most well known for it’s use by Kennedy and Nixon in their famous CBS TV debate of 1960.
