Wegner PP225 Flag Halyard Chair

The PP Møbler PP225 Flag Halyard Chair represents Hans J. Wegner's brilliant departure from his legendary woodworking heritage into the realm of modernist steel furniture. Born from a moment of inspiration on a Danish beach where Wegner sculpted a comfortable seat in the sand, this 1950 design masterpiece transforms industrial materials into an expression of ultimate luxury.

The chair's striking form emerges from the interplay of three carefully chosen materials: a precisely engineered stainless steel frame, 220 meters of specially developed flag line, and a sumptuous long-haired Icelandic sheepskin. Each element serves both aesthetic and functional purposes – the flag line, made from jute with a high-tensile nylon core, is pre-stretched to ensure optimal support, while the sustainably sourced sheepskin (a chrome-free, ethical byproduct of food production) softens the chair's industrial edges while providing exceptional comfort.

While paying homage to modernist pioneers like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe, Wegner infused the design with his distinctive approach to comfort and proportion. The chair's carefully calculated angles, derived from his beach experiment, create a reclined position that perfectly supports the body. A leather or fabric neck cushion, secured with bridle leather or jute straps, provides the finishing touch to this study in ergonomic luxury.

Each Flag Halyard Chair is meticulously crafted by PP Møbler's master artisans, representing the pinnacle of Danish furniture craftsmanship. Available with either natural or black flag line and various sheepskin options, this iconic piece continues to exemplify how innovative materials and thoughtful design can create furniture that's both sculptural and supremely comfortable.
