This flag halyard Lounge Chair was something radically new in his time, made of new materials. Hans Wegner´s Chair does not require much carpentry work, but a lot of manual work for his 250 m flag cord. This example comes in green lacquered metal frame. Manufactured by Getama. After Wegner studied at the Arts and Crafts School in Copenhagen he got hired as draftsman for the architecture office of Erik Møller and famous furniture designer Arne Jacobsen before becoming a milestone in Danish design history. Jacobsen and Wegner are next to Finn Juhl and Børge Mogensen two of the great Danish designers.
