The Flag Halyard Chair & Ottoman were originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1950. They feature a solid stainless steel frame, 220 meters of specially developed flag line forming the seat and back, hide bolster, and a long-haired sheepskin for added comfort.

The idea for the Flag Halyard Chair was conceived on a hot summer afternoon while Wegner was at a family beach outing, digging himself into the sand to create a comfortable lounging position to watch his children. Back at his summerhouse, he made the first sketches using the seating angles he had conceived on the beach.

This natural model uses light, natural color halyard rope for supports and has a white powder-coat steel base. See the Flag Halyard Chair & Ottoman Dark version for an alternative bold aesthetic.

Shown with Natural Halyard Rope on Polished Stainless Steel, with Tangeri Aniline Leather Bolster and White Sheep Skin. The ottoman acts as a footrest or impromptu additional seating as needed.

The Archetype Forms Flag Halyard Lounge Chair & Ottoman are faithful reproductions of the original Hans Wegner Flag Halyard Chair & Ottoman, also known as the Model pp225 Flag Halyard Chair.

Flag Halyard Lounge Chair & Ottoman

Hans Wegner was primarily known for his woodwork, but demonstrated his versatility with the Flag Halyard Chair by incorporating materials like stainless steel and flag line, paying tribute to early modernist designers such as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer.

The Flag Halyard Chair's design is further enhanced with a leather or fabric upholstered neck cushion, held by bridle leather, and a unique sheepskin, processed without the use of chrome. The Flag Halyard ottoman acts as a footrest or impromptu additional seating as needed.

Wegner stated "A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles." Wegner realized this belief with The Flag Halyard Chair. Its appearance, ergonomic design, and luxurious materials making it an immediately recognizable piece of mid-century modern furniture.
