papa chair

there are few things better than a vintage chair upholstered (or reupholstered) in a lipstick red fabric. make it a nubby red fabric (boucle perhaps?) and i’m in heaven. for me, a good red fabric is as classic as a little black dress or a good pair of flats. it never goes out of style. sadly these guys are out of my price range, but if one of you has the dough for a gorgeous chair, ebay’s got a great hans wegner papa chair right here for you. [current bidding price: $1500]

Hi Grace,

I thought you’d like to know the red chairs by Hans Wegner are called “Papa” or “Papa Bear” chairs. And, they ARE as comfortable as they look!

Best,

Is it just me or do those chairs look upside down? Either way, I do love the red!
