2023 Incollect Magazine 23 designer Hans Wegner’s iconic Flag Halyard chair. The low-slung chair was conceived in 1949 during a trip to the beach when Wegner was digging a recess in the sand for lounging. He found the perfect angle and was inspired to create a chair with that same profile, using flagpole rope strung across a steel frame. Right: The living room flows beyond the dining room, continuing the subdued color palette, but with curvaceous forms to contrast with the angular shapes in the dining area. A pair of vintage Vladimir Kagan Serpentine Sofas is joined by a trio of custom-designed biomorphic-shaped coffee tables each in a different material: petrified wood, stained sequoia and bronze, styled with a trio of bulbous-shaped ceramic vessels. The rattan chaise lounge model PK24 is a 1965 creation by Danish designer Poul Kjaerholm. Floating below beams painted in a tone to match the bark of the ever-present olive trees, a 1950s chandelier by Austrian architect Oswald Haerdtl is composed of dozens of frosted glass globes. British/Indian artist Bharti Kher’s painting Collage of Bindis hangs behind the sofas. Photos: Stephan Julliard
