Description
Conceived in 1954 the tub chair was a pioneering experiment, and it turned out to be the most advanced shell chair design Wegner ever did, as the back of the chair is a complicated double bent shell comprising of two individual shapes; one that is bent and one that is both bent and twisted. Using plywood techniques with upholstery and traditional work Wegner created a striking chair, even adding a back angle adjustment to allow for 3 positions of comfort. The Tub chair was not technically possible to produce in a rational way within the lifetime of Wegner. As our techniques have developed, PP Mobler has been able to produce this great tribute and introduce this bold design in celebration on the 100 year anniversary of Wegner, one of the greatest designers of all time.
