PP58 Chair
In the late years of a long glorious career with an extensive line of masterpieces acknowledged worldwide and a number of significant awards already achieved, Hans J. Wegner aged 73 designed the pp68/pp58 as his final round back arm chair.
As a genuinely comfortable, practical, strong, durable and affordable chair, it concludes the line of round back arm chairs that Wegner evolved through four decades based on ideas of good craftsmanship and proper ergonomics.Comprising of solid wood joined with tenons, each joint, proved by testing, to withstand one ton of pulling strength. The chair is designed to be comfortable in alternate seating positions, making it a delightful experience for any occasion.
The Final Chair is a generational piece of craftsmanship, made to last through the ages and to be passed down through generations. It constitutes the core philosophy of both ecological and economical sustainability.

Hans J. Wegner
Hans J. Wegner is among the greatest of furniture designers. And he must also have been one of the most productive, since we today can count more than 1000 models. His designs have been described as 'timeless', 'everlasting', 'perfect to the fullest extent of what is possible', and 'free from passing trends'.
There are many reasons for the quality of Wegner's furniture. The most important is probably his craftmanlike, pragmatic approach to his trade. He always evaluates the practical aspect in the design process by setting up a number of strict rules, dictating the process of giving shape - is this even possible? These rules may not allow for the wild free inspiration, but it demands a creative interaction between the potential of the material and the process of design. As Henrik Most writes in his article on Wegner: 'The biggest freedom stems from the most severe strictness'. In the dialogue between material and creativity, Wegner surpasses most of his peers.

We are proud that the furniture we manufacture can be experienced in many contexts. Over the years, our workshop has taken part in developing furniture which in terms of both design and craft transcends time, space, and generations.
We have also undertaken larger custom projects, which often requires specially designed furniture. Such events challenge our workshop's abilities and encourages us to continue our efforts to create high-quality craftsmanship.
PP Møbler's craft is based on developmental work, production, and experiments with the possibilities of wood. The experiments challenge and inspire us, and help us expand our understanding for our craft.
Our work with prototypes has always been marked by professional pride and will to develop tradition. Whether or not it goes into production is not decisive - decisive however, is the pleasure of creating something which transcends existing limits. Wegner chose us because of our ability and willingness to develop new and exciting prototypes.
