wegner rocker chair Designed by Hans Wegner
Danish design promoted a sincere interest in the interaction between users
and their tools and a more organic understanding of form. Design should
appeal to all senses not just visible. The first decades after World War
II were the most fruitful period ever for Danish Design. Many Danish
designers achieved world fame along with Hans J. Wegner including Finn
Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Borge Mogensen, and later Poul Kjaerholm and Verner
Panton.
Hans J. Wegner was the carpenter who conceived of the design on the basis
of how a creative craftsman with good practical sense would go about the
task. Wegner himself described it in an interview with Henrik Sten Møller
as “a competition, so much to do, quality to live up to, and personal
competition between, among others, Borge Mogensen, Finn Juhl, and me.” But
as Henrik Sten Møller wrote many years later, “I would venture to say that
Hans J. Wegner is the most gifted cabinetmaker the world has ever known.”
The Rocking Chair in solid ash and plaited flag halyard came into
production at PP Møbler in 1984.
With Wegner one can almost always sense an inspiration from the American
shaker-tradition. And this is very much the case here. The chair also
shows Wegner's usual insistence on quality in idea, shape, function
and craft.
Lead times for PP Mobler products are approximately 14-16 weeks.
