Hans Wegner easy chairs

This rare set of GE-375 easy chairs, designed by Hans J. Wegner and produced by Getama in the 1950s, exemplifies the restrained elegance and modular ingenuity that define mid-century Danish design. As one of Wegner’s most structurally expressive lounge chair models, the GE-375 is celebrated for its blend of sculptural presence, ergonomic comfort, and refined materiality.

Crafted from solid oak, the frames showcase sharply angled lines and precise joinery that reflect Wegner’s mastery of wood construction. The exposed structure is both functional and architectural, with high side and back rails intersecting the legs at assertive angles to form a visually compelling silhouette. The oak is left in a natural finish, allowing its grain and tone to age gracefully into a warm, golden patina that accentuates the authenticity and craftsmanship of the piece.

Each chair retains its original upholstery—a muted green fabric with subtle linear accents that nod to the understated palette of 1950s Danish interiors. The fabric provides a soft visual contrast to the solidity of the oak, while its preserved condition enhances the set’s historical integrity. The upholstery is stretched across gently inclined backs and deep seats, offering a comfortable, supportive sitting experience aligned with Wegner’s philosophy of functional humanism.

A particularly notable feature of the GE-375 model is its modular design. While fully functional and sculptural as standalone chairs, the units are designed to interlock side-by-side, allowing them to be combined into a multi-seat sofa configuration. This versatility reflects Wegner’s practical approach to living spaces, where form always serves flexibility and use.

Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Danish modern furniture. His work with Getama, a longstanding Danish manufacturer, produced some of the most iconic lounge furniture of the era, known for their sculptural clarity and enduring comfort.

This set of GE-375 easy chairs is a rare and collectible example of Wegner’s modular seating design—offering both flexibility and aesthetic integrity, perfect for mid-century interiors or contemporary spaces seeking timeless craftsmanship.
