Product Options

'The Round One' as Wegner referred to it with his usual provincial modesty, is one of the most famous Danish pieces of furniture - certainly the most distinctly Danish. In its own modest and simple way it sums up the very essence of traditional Danish woodworking and design philosophy. And it is absolutely the most important work of Hans J. Wegner.

The back of the PP501 is carved out of a 5 inch piece of solid wood.
pp501 comes with seat in nature or light cane.
The material used in caning chairs is derived from the peeled bark or skin of the rattan vine native to Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia. Some vines reach 600 feet in length. Rattan vine looks somewhat similar to bamboo but is much more flexible.

Limited production due to extraordinary wood sourcing and drying process
Limited two year warranty for cane
For domestic use only

Maintenance: Cane must be moisted regularly. If they dry out they may crack.

Seat Height: 44 cm
