Conceived in 1954 the Tub Chair was a pioneering experiment and it turned out to be the most advanced shell chair design Wegner created as the back of the chair is a complicated double bent shell comprising of two individual shapes. One that is bent and one that is both bent and twisted.

Even besides the complexity of the back, the Tub Chair is an interesting fusion, where Wegner merged the moulded plywood technique with upholstery and traditional work in solid wood, even adding a metal angle adjustment mechanism for the back.

The Tub Chair is a striking and brilliant example of Wegner’s vision and innovative courage, and still it is a most practical, usable and comfortable chair.

Moulding shells of wood is a part of laminating technology. Gluing layers of veneer makes it possible to produce large curved constructions that are light and strong. At PP Møbler we use this technique for making the seats for upholstery.

To care for your item you should regularly oiled the wood.

Use a clean cloth to oil the chair and make sure the oil is lightly and evenly distributed. Get a new soft dry cloth and wipe off the remaining oil of the furniture, always following the wood grain. Then leave it to dry. It can take a day or two before the oil has hardened up, depending on the oil used.

Be careful not to get oil on the fabric. Oil-treated furniture can leave grease marks until completely hardened, therefore do not place the furniture directly on carpets or on soap treated wooden floors until one to two weeks after the last oil treatment.
