If there ever were a chair made for me, it would most definitely be the "Papa Bear" chair. To my eyes, it is chair perfection! Designed in 1951 by the Danish furniture designer Hans J. Wegner, this chair is considered an iconic piece of midcentury Danish design. The chair, which also has a matching footstool, got its name after a critic commented that the armrests were like "great bear paws embracing you from behind." Wegner is regarded as the "master of the chair," with more than 500 original chair designs under his namesake. Although I have never had the opportunity to sit in one, it has been said that it is "the most comfortable chair ever made."
