Hans J. Wegner (b. Tønder 1914, d. Gentofte 2007)

“PP 203”. An oak armchair with wengé in the back, seat with brown patinated leather. Designed 1969. Manufactured by PP.

At the end of the 1960s, Wegner designed two prototypes, which were further developed by PP Møbler. Wegner offered the workshop to produce the prototypes if they were interested. Nevertheless, Master of Crafts Ejnar Pedersen was most fond of one of the chairs due to its back and legs. Consequently, this chair, PP203 went into production in 1969 while the other chair went to Getama. PP203 was the first full step in the long cooperation between PP Møbler and Wegner. The first years was the chair sold through cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen.
