Based on the virtuous concept of repurposing, the wool chair series is dedicated to implementing pioneering initiatives to reduce waste of materials. Our exclusive wool flag halyard is made using pure sheep wool, sourced from the Faroe Islands, reflecting designer Kasper Thorup´s focus on handwork, artistry and honest materials.

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

The idea of making flag halyard from unused sheep wool was a project designer Kasper Thorup envisioned together with native Faroese textile designer Ragnhild Hjalmarsdóttir.

Elegantly evolved to withstand the demands of high altitudes and the ever-changing weather in the Faroe Islands, the pure sheep wool is a sturdy and resilient fibre, making the soft, refined, and elegant wool the perfect material for furniture upholstery made for everyday use.

We work with premium Faroese sheep wool – pure and undyed, known for being particularly hardy and exceptionally durable. Our wool flag halyard begins its journey with the sheep’s who walks freely in the untamed and wild nature of the Faroe Islands. Sourced directly from traditional family farms, where the sheep´s roam freely in their natural habitats as they have for centuries.

 
 
 
 

Our exclusive wool flag halyard offers a diversity and durability out of the ordinary. The versatile and elegant wool fibre comes in a selection of natural hues, making each chair refined and unique. Discover Noel chair versioned in four seating solutions: Chair with and without armrests, Bar and Counter stools and Lounge Chair in a brushed steel base combined with the soft wool flag halyard in three natural hues: fair grey, dark grey and brown.
