The Hammock Chair is a remarkable sculpture made to offer a tangible relaxing experience. The beautiful curves balance with the sturdy molded wood construction and the flag line pattern with an excessive elegance elevates this bold design into one of Wegner’s truly unique creations. Based on the idea of stretching out a flexible surface of flag line strings in a wooden frame, Wegner has created the resemblance of a hammock in a reclining chair. Within this design concept Wegner introduced the simple metal clips that allow the characteristic pattern in the string work, which was a feature of the early 1960’s sketches of the Circle Chair.
