Name: pp505 Cow Horn Chair (Upholstered Seat)
Brand: PP Møbler
Availability: OutOfStock

Designed in 1952 the Cow Horn Chair is the immediate follow up on the breakthrough of Wegner's career, pp501/pp503 The Chair, and the continuity in shape and philosophy is obvious. But serving a different purpose, Wegner created a chair that was to play an important role in the development of his future work.

pp505 is available with either cane or upholstered seat. As opposed to most other chairs by Wegner that comes with a upholstered seat, this chair is upholstered directly on the seat rails. Before the era of Wegner this was the normal way of upholstering chairs and in the case of the Cow Horn Chair and the Bull Chair pp518, Wegner sticks to the old tradition.

The armrests on pp505 are always cut from the same piece of wood, so the grain will match. The joint detail in the back is made of rosewood.
