Steel, rope and sheepskin - an unlikely trio turned into one of Wegner’s boldest experiments in comfort. Born from a summer afternoon by the sea, the Flag Halyard Chair is Hans J. Wegner’s rebellion against convention. A stainless-steel frame holds hundreds of meters of hand-tied flag line, tensioned with the precision of ship rigging. Draped in long-haired sheepskin, it turns industrial material into invitation. Sculptural yet humane, this chair proves that Nordic modernism could be both raw and refined

A circle that floats, a seat that embraces. Wegner’s late-career masterstroke in balance and grace. The Circle Chair transforms geometry into gentleness. Suspended in hand-woven cord, its broad wooden frame seems to hover in air, offering a sense of openness rare in lounge design.

Known today as The Chair or the Kennedy Chair, Wegner’s Round Chair distilled decades of Danish craftsmanship into one continuous gesture of wood and cane. Its silhouette - open, honest, and impossibly fluid - embodied everything modern design aspired to be. Chosen for the first televised U.S. presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960, it proved that comfort and character could command a room without saying a word.

Poised, powerful and reassuring - a chair that holds you as much as it supports you. Introduced in 1951, the Papa Bear Chair was Hans J. Wegner’s answer to comfort with structure. Its generous arms, likened to a bear’s paws, give the piece its name and its sense of authority. Beneath the upholstered form lies a complex construction of solid wood, natural fibers and meticulous hand-stitching, shaped through more than a hundred precise steps. Every curve feels deliberate, every proportion measured. To sit in it is to understand why Wegner’s work endures - not as nostalgia, but as living craft.

The result is design distilled to confidence - functional sculpture that stands as a modern totem of strength.
