PP124 Rocking Chair, 1984 Original Manufacturer: PP Møbler > Designer: Hans J. Wegner > Country: Denmark

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Rocking Chair in solid ash and plaited flag halyard came into production at PP Møbler in 1984. With Wegner one can almost always sense an inspiration from the American shaker-tradition. And this is very much the case here. The chair also shows Wegner's usual insistence on quality in idea, shape, function and craft. When master of crafts Ejnar Pedersen saw it, his first comment was if it didn't perhaps look a bit 'auntish'. This remark actually made Wegner rethink his design, which afterwards underwent a few changes.
PP 124 is characteristic of Wegner and the craftsmen and shows that not merely chronology, style, or other external factors control the design - communication and quality on all levels in the process are always at least as important.
