Flag Halyard Chair, Beige Rope / Caramel Leather

Mid-Century Modern Halyard Flag Rope Lounge Chair

The Kardiel Flag Halyard chair comes with everything you see in the picture including the Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather pillow and the sheepskin throw. Perfectly balanced and built with a solid stainless steel frame and 240 meters of textured flag line, this modern industrial beauty mimics the grace of the original. The “Halyard Rope Chair” was upon its unveiling in Denmark in 1960 destined for iconic status. The wide-set and low frame is excellent for an afternoon rest, especially when matched with the comfort of a sheepskin throw and down feather filled headrest.

Designing The Icon

There's an interesting, though possibly apocryphal story attached to its design by the Danish furniture designer Wegner. The story goes that Wegner conceived this design while on the beach towards the end of the 1940s. He supposedly modeled the grid-like seat in a sand dune, presumably with some sea tested sailing rope that was found onsite. (A ‘halyard’ is a line that hoists or covers a sail.) The design was brilliant and off the beaten path. The Halyard Rope chair went into production shortly after in the 1950s.

You may have seen or come across Hans Wegner's Flag Halyard Chair in design books or perhaps you’ve seen the design strategically placed in movie sets. The unlikely combination of rope, tubular steel, sheepskin and linen are still unprecedented in mainstream furniture crafting. Wegner’s motivation in using such contrasting materials was apparently not to exploit their textural interplay but simply to demonstrate his ability to design innovative, practical and comfortable furniture - in a variety of material.

Genuine Top Grain Aniline Leather

A small percent of the world’s leather supply is of high enough quality for 100% Top Grain Aniline upholstered furniture. Aniline Dyeing is the process of soaking the hides in transparent aniline dyes which allows color to absorb into the natural hide. Top Grain Aniline leather is then topical stain protected to minimize liquid absorption during every day use but does not require imitation grain stamping methods which imprint a Faux grain over the majority of the leather surface. Without all the synthetic topical coatings, it breathes naturally making it comfortable for seating. It is soft, supple, durable and pliable, maintaining the characteristics of pure leather.
