Come to Papa!


In 1951 Hans J. Wegner prolific furniture design icon of the 20th Century
designed Model 19 otherwise known as

 the Papa Bear chair











A bear coming to hug you from behind...it's paws reaching out to envelope you in superior comfort....


One of these awesome beauties depending on whether it be an original or reissue,
 could set you back between $12 - $25K!  What an incredible investment piece!

Probably the ultimate in mid-century aesthetic.
