Pair of Hans Wegner PP225 Flag Halyard Chairs, Danish Modern Icon
A design icon by Hans J. Wegner, the PP225 Flag Halyard Chair was originally conceived in 1950 and
remains one of the most distinctive expressions of Danish modernism. Departing from Wegner
’

traditional woodwork, the design features a sculptural stainless steel frame with a handwoven flag
halyard seat, creating a striking balance of industrial form and organic comfort.
This pair dates to the desirable 1980 reissue, produced true to the original specifications and complete
with sheepskin headrests. The model’

underscoring its lasting relevance and demand among collectors.

$29,500, presenting a compelling opportunity to acquire a timeless and investment-worthy design.
