Designed in 1950, the shape and style of the Flag Halyard Chair were initially conceived as a result of a family trip to the beach. While the children were playing by the edge of the water, Wegner was busy fashioning a chair from sand in order to create somewhere comfortable and relaxing where he could enjoy the hot summer’s day. On returning to the summer house, Wegner drafted his first sketches, using the angles that he had created on the beach.

Hans J?rgensen Wegner’s (1914 - 2007) high-quality and thoughtful work contributed to the international popularity of mid-century Danish design. His style is often described as Organic Functionality, a modernist school with emphasis on functionality, arising primarily in Scandinavian countries. In his lifetime, he designed over 500 different chairs, over 100 of which were put into mass production, with many recognizable icons among them. Born to cobbler Peter M. Wegner, he worked as a child apprentice to Master cabinetmaker H. F. Stahlberg. With an affinity for wood, he attended the Danish School of Arts and Crafts and the Architectural Academy in Copenhagen. In 1936, he began studies at what is now The Danish Design School, with O. M?lgaard Nielsen as teacher.
PP Mobler is a family owned Danish joinery workshop, established in 1953, with a strong tradition for crafting design furniture of high quality. Motivation has always been the love of wood and a stubborn belief that technique, ingenuity and craftsmanship can be combined in the strive for quality.
