Product Details

Product Description

The GE290 model sofa, designed by Hans Wegner and manufactured by Getama in the 1960s, is a piece of furniture that may come across as understated, yet it is masterfully crafted and exceedingly comfortable. Wegner's expertise in materials and construction techniques is evident in every detail of this sofa. The teak frame is the highlight of the design, featuring diagonal legs and softly rounded edges. The armrests are flat and horizontally shaped, giving the sofa the nickname 'Plank'. Hans Wegner was a celebrated furniture designer who had a deep understanding of materials and construction. His furniture pieces are both functional and artistic. While he followed the principles of functionalism, Wegner infused inventiveness and sculptural sense into his designs. He aimed to create the best possible chair, knowing that perfection was impossible to attain. Nevertheless, he produced over 500 designs in his lifetime, leaving behind a legacy that is marked by innovation and inspiration. Wegner's designs have found a home in many prominent buildings across the world, including the UN Building and Seagram Building in New York, and NATO's headquarters in Paris.
