Building up an icon (mass produced) – Part #14 » Flag Halyard Chair by Hans J. Wegner (1950)
The Flag Halyard Chair by Hans J. Wegner designed in 1950 is truly one of a kind. Made of solid stainless steel, 240 meters specially developed flag line and a long-haired sheep skin it is the ultimate relaxing luxury! Despite the futuristic appearance, the basic idea and the shape of the chair was conceived on a hot summer afternoon under quite trivial conditions. While the kids were playing in the shallow water on the beach, Wegner was digging himself into the sand building a comfortable chair to enjoy the holidays. ‘The Flag Halyard Chair’ was designed with no particular producer in mind, but is soon given to Getama. PP Møbler took over the production of ‘The Flag Halyard Chair’ in 2002.
