flaghalyardchair

With The Flag Halyard Chair, Hans Wegner acknowledges the early modernists such as Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Marcel Breuer, and proves that he too masters designs in chromium- plated steel pipes. Despite this gesture, the chair is still decidedly Wegner. The chair’s surfaces are made of plaited flag halyard with the longhaired sheepskin softening the industrial sharpness of the steel, adding comfort. The product are licensed and manufactured in Denmark.

Milanese furniture designer Antonio Citterio´s sofa Charles can be configured almost any way from a selection of sixteen modular elements. The low profile keeps everything close to the ground, and the now much-copied L-shaped aluminum legs give it the perfect mix of simplicity and balance.

Furniture - Chair - Spanish - Borge Mogensen

Spanish Chair by Borge Mogensen. Produced by Fredericia Furniture.

spanishchair

The Spanish Chair is Borge Mogensen’s (Wikipedia) masterly interpretation of a traditional type of chair often found in areas influenced by ancient Islamic culture – from Andalusia to northern India. Mogensen drew inspiration from a trip to Spain in 1958. He modernised the shape, eliminating the elaborate carvings while retaining the important feature: the broad armrests that give the chair character and provide a practical place to put a glass or cup. The combination of oak and butt leather gives a strong, rustic appearance.

Furniture - Sofa - Poeten - Finn Juhl

Sofa Poeten by Finn Juhl. Produced by Hansen & Sørensen.

poeten
Finn Juhl designed Poeten for his own home in 1941 - and I'm guessing that home was tall and not that spacious, judging by the proportions of the sofa. Today this sofa represents a part of Danish cultural history and modern furniture that exudes values that have more or less disappeared in these days of fleeting fancies. Poeten is made to the finest manufacturing standards with hand-sewn upholstery, and its legs come in several different types of wood. Inspired by "free art".
