PP Møbler Bamsestol (Bamsesofa / Papa Bear Sofa)

The Bamsesofa (Papa Bear Sofa), closely tied to Hans J. Wegner's iconic AP19 Bamsestol (Papa Bear Chair / Teddy Bear Chair), is an iconic piece of Danish modern furniture design. Originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in the early 1950s (initially crafted by AP Stolen / A.P. Møbler), the design is celebrated for its distinctive wooden paws and comforting silhouette resembling a bear with outstretched arms.

Today, the authorized and authentic production of Wegner's Teddy Bear line, including the Bamsestol and related Bear series pieces, is undertaken by the family-owned Danish workshop PP Møbler ApS. Located in Allerød, Denmark, PP Møbler manufactures each piece by hand using traditional cabinetmaking techniques, sustainable Danish solid wood, natural horsehair, and fine upholstery fabrics.

PP Møbler remains an independent, family-owned Danish cabinetmaking workshop upholding the legacy of Nordic master joinery. While generic children's soft play seating or novelty loungers in Denmark and Scandinavia are sometimes colloquially called 'bamsesofa' (teddy bear sofas), the prominent design classic sold in Denmark under this esteemed name belongs to the masterwork of Hans J. Wegner and PP Møbler.
