Design By: Hans J. Wegner, 1986
The idea of making a chair based on the most simple and elegant shape of them all, the circle, remained a distant dream until Hans J. Wegner eventually completed the design at the age of 72. The concept of the Circle Chair matured over a lifetime, and became one of Wegner’s most visionary projects.
Although the design initially posed great challenges for PP Møbler’s workshop, as it pushed the limits of what was possible at the time, it eventually became a flagship chair at PP Møbler.
Consequently the Circle Chair turned out to be one of Wegner’s most characteristic designs and it still offers great comfort and flexibility.
One of the many appealing features of the Circle Chair is the fact that despite the size and comfort it is light and transparent, very practical and easy to move around.
Laminating is possible because wood is flexible and thin pieces are easily bent
It is the technique of slicing up wood into thin pieces and gluing them together to form a new shape.
This is not as easy as it appears and is a relatively recent invention developed during WWII for the aircraft industry. In producing the Circle Chair we have developed laminating techniques far beyond those that are in industrial use.
Wegner himself thought the problem insurmountable and although he conceived the idea of the Circle Chair in 1965 it was not completed until 1986 in collaboration with PP Møbler.

The Designer Favourite!
The Multi-Lite was first drawn in 1972 when Louis Weisdorf did an exception to his own design custom of using multiple repeating elements. Instead it reflects his passion for diversity. The Multi-Lite pendant has two individual rotating shades and can be transformed into multiple combinations where the light can be directed upwards, downwards or exude an assymetrical art light. The lamp is available in different colors and all the shades are white lacquered inside.
