A lounge chair mod. Flag Halyard with rare ottoman, designed by Hans J. Wegner
in around 1950, for GETAMA, Denmark, sculptural four-legged structure made of chromium plated and dark varnished steel, flag halyard covering, bolster with dark brown leather cover, dimensions of chair: height c. 80 cm, width c. 105 cm, depth c. 118 cm, height of seat c. 40 cm; dimensions of ottoman: height c. 40 cm, width c. 72 cm, depth c. 62 cm. Signs of age and use, partly small losses (to the varnish), one halyard piece torn. (MHA)
A rare early model for GETAMA.
A rare set - especially the footstool is very rare.
The idea for this design idea came to Hans J. Wegner in 1949, during a stroll on the beach with his family. He was looking for the ideal leaning position for relaxed sitting on the beach. The result was the present implementation of this design.
Cf. Lit.:
‚Dansk Kunsthåndværk‘, no. 5, 1950, p. 86; Noritsugu Oda: ‚Danish Chairs‘, 1999, ill. p. 112.
