Original PP550 Peacock Chair designed by Hans J. Wegner and manufactured by the renowned Danish cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
This authentic Johannes Hansen Peacock Chair is an iconic and highly collectible example of Danish Modern and Scandinavian Mid-Century design. Widely considered one of Hans J. Wegner’s most celebrated works, the PP550 Peacock Chair is admired for its sculptural silhouette, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless architectural presence.
Crafted from solid ash wood with a woven seat, this original Johannes Hansen Peacock Chair showcases Wegner’s signature organic curves and refined woodworking details. The dramatic spindle back features the distinctive widened flat spindles that inspired the famous “Peacock” nickname, creating both visual rhythm and ergonomic comfort.
Unlike later productions, this chair retains its original Johannes Hansen maker’s stamp, confirming its authenticity and original Danish manufacture. Collectors and interior designers highly value early Johannes Hansen examples for their superior craftsmanship, historical significance, and investment quality.
The chair presents beautifully with a warm natural patina and age-appropriate wear consistent with vintage condition. Its sculptural form makes it a striking statement piece for Scandinavian Modern, Danish Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Wabi-Sabi, and collector-focused interiors.
