Jens Houmøller Klemmensen for Peder Pedersen, set of ten dining chairs, leather, mahogany, Denmark, 1938
A beautiful and exceptionally rare ensemble of chairs that made its debut at the 1938 Copenhagen Cabinetmakers’ Guild Exhibition, designed by the Danish architect Jens Houmøller Klemmensen and crafted by the acclaimed Peder Pedersen studio. The set is a distinguished example of Scandinavian modernism. Executed in solid mahogany, the chairs display elegantly tapered legs and a sculptural spindle backrest that lends both visual lightness and ergonomic support. The seats are upholstered in light brown leather, providing a warm and understated contrast to the rich tone of the timber. With their restrained detailing and impeccable construction, these chairs embody the enduring qualities of Danish cabinetmaking and represent an important example of pre-war Scandinavian design.
PP Møbler is a highly respected Danish furniture manufacturer, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Established in 1953 by brothers Ejnar and Lars Peder Pedersen, the company started as a small 150 m² workshop in Allerød, Denmark. Over the decades, it has expanded significantly, now operating from an 1800 m² facility while staying true to its original location.
From the beginning, PP Møbler collaborated with influential designers and artisans, including Finn Juhl and Hans J. Wegner. One of their early contributions was crafting the lower frame for Wegner's famous "Teddy Bear Chair" for A.P. Stolen.
At the heart of PP Møbler’s philosophy is an unwavering commitment to superior craftsmanship. A well-known story illustrates this dedication: when Wegner once suggested that the hidden parts of a chair didn’t require the same level of precision, Ejnar Pedersen insisted that every detail, seen or unseen, should be crafted to perfection: both to honor the artisans' skill and uphold the company’s high standards.
Today, under the leadership of the third generation, PP Møbler continues to produce both classic and modern designs, seamlessly blending traditional woodworking techniques with contemporary technology. Their legacy remains deeply rooted in Danish design, ensuring their pieces endure for generations to come.
