When Was Papa Bear Chair Designed?
The original Papa Bear Chair was designed in Denmark in 1951 by Hans Jørgensen Wegner for AP Stolen and thereby got its model number AP19. In 1953 PP Møbler became a sub-contractor producing the wood frame for the AP19 chair and AP Stolen produced the chair for a number of years. In 2003, where the chair had been out of production for a few years, PP Møbler began producing the chair again for their 50 years anniversary of their first involvement with the Papa Bear Chair.
