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

“Tub Chair”. Unique easy chair with Danish ash wood frame, seat and shell-shaped adjustable back upholstered with blue/yellow “Blans” wool designed by Hanne Vedel. Adjustable steel bracket and fittings. Model PP 530. Made and stamped by PP Møbler in 2022.

A group of PP Møbler employees decided to support the Ukrainian children who are fighting for their lives and futures at the moment.

PP Møbler's carpenters and upholsterers made two special versions of Hans J. Wegner's ”Tub Chair” in their spare time, to support the Ukrainian children.

The full amount will go to ”Børns Vilkår”, who focuses on helping children who are victims of the war in Ukraine.

The model was presented at the Copenhagen Cabinetmakers' 400th Anniversary Exhibition in Forum 16–26th September 1954, stand no. 23.
