PP201/PP203 First Chair, 1969
PP201/PP203 First Chair by Hans Wegner for PP Møbler.
The PP201/PP203 First Chair combines the aesthetics of the PP701 Minimal Chair with the construction of the PP66 Chinese Chair. The frame is formed with strict geometric shapes that emphasise Wegner's distinctive organic style.
The armrest and backrest of the chair are expertly crafted from a single piece of steam-bent wood, one piece of carved solid wood piece and joint details made from wengé.
The seat of the PP201 is made of a paper cord, which is incredibly durable and has a high tensile strength. Weaving the seat requires a lot of experience, as the final result's symmetry depends on an even pull each time the cord is tightened.
The First Chair marks a significant milestone in the lifelong partnership between Hans J. Wegner and PP Møbler, as prior to 1969, PP Møbler was mostly a free space for Wegner rather than a business partner.
