Papa Bear Ottoman

CAD $540$660

The Papa Bear Ottoman Model was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1951 as a companion piece to the iconic Papa Bear Chair.

First exhibited at the Tidens Møbler exhibition in 1952 Copenhagen, it is regarded as a staple of mid-century modern furniture design. Built on a sturdy wooden frame, its “Paws,” which double as handles, are a different wood type and finish than its legs.

The Papa Bear Ottoman serves as a footrest, impromptu additional seating, or a small table as needed, following Wegner’s philosophy of combining functionality and modernist principles.

The Archetype Forms Papa Bear Chair & Ottoman is a faithful reproduction of the original Hans J. Wegner Papa Bear Chair & Ottoman, Model PP19 & AP19 Papa Bear Chair, and Model PP120 Papa Bear Ottoman.
