Procuring quality gifts in wartime Europe was no easy
feat. So when Hans J. Wegner failed to find a suitable
christening gift for Peter, the son of his friend and fellow
furniture designer Børge Mogensen, he took matters
into his own hands.
An accomplished cabinetmaker, Wegner conceived and built
a simple yet ingenious table and chair set that would function
as both a functional object and an engaging toy. Designed as
a life-size 3D puzzle, the chair and table are easily assembled
without the use of tools. There are no sharp edges. And
all pieces are crafted from untreated beech, making them
completely safe for children of all ages.
Since going into production in 1944, Peter’s Chair and Table
set has remained a cherished classic.
