In the world of Scandinavian mid-century design, there are a few pieces that you really must know. The Flag Halyard Chair by PP Møbler is one of them. It's the ultimate statement lounge chair. The Flag Halyard chair has been loved for decades by designers and collectors and has become a timeless symbol of Danish modern design.
The Flag Halyard Chair, designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950, is a well known piece by renowned Scandinavian design house PP Møbler. The Flag Halyard chair blends industrial materials with Danish mid-century design. with a stainless steel frame and 220 meters of specially developed flag line, the chair’s unique design was inspired by Wegner’s summer afternoon on the beach and the imprint left behind in the sand. He envisioned a chair that would combine practicality with aesthetic appeal, an idea he refined into this elegant, Scandinavian design.
Although Wegner is known for his wooden furniture like the CH24 Wishbone chair produced by Carl Hansen & Søn or the upholstered Papa Bear Chair by PP Møbler, the Flag Halyard Chair pays tribute to modernist pioneers like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. His use of stainless steel here highlights his versatility and innovative spirit. Produced by PP Møbler, a Danish company known for its high-quality craftsmanship, this chair exemplifies the best of Danish design.
PP Møbler continues to uphold Wegner’s legacy, producing furniture that combines function and beauty, in this case with the added luxury of sheepskin for comfort.
