Hans Jørgensen Wegner was one of the central figures of Danish modern design, known for combining rigorous craftsmanship with an almost effortless sense of comfort and proportion. Working within the broader mid-century modern movement in Denmark, Wegner focused on honest materials, visible construction, and furniture made to be lived with rather than just admired. His collaboration with Getama resulted in seating designs where clarity of form and usability take precedence over ornament. The GE series belongs to this phase of his work, reflecting Scandinavian design in the postwar period.

This model “GE-300” four-seater sofa is a clear expression of Wegner’s disciplined design language. The low, horizontal profile gives the piece a grounded presence, while the long seat evenly divided by cushions create a sense of rhythm across its length. The proportions are carefully balanced so that the sofa feels generous without appearing heavy, making it suitable for private interiors and larger architectural spaces. The upholstered cushions emphasize comfort and tactility, while the exposed wooden legs lift the body slightly off the floor, adding visual lightness. At the same time, the cylindrical legs balance the geometry of the body, angular and squared. The sofa’s structure is clear and straightforward, reinforcing Wegner’s belief that construction should be legible rather than concealed.

As a four-seater sofa, the “GE-300” works equally well as a statement central piece and as generous seating ideal for hosting and relaxation. Its understated design allows it to adapt easily to different settings, while still carrying the unmistakable Danish modern look. This sofa stands as a strong example of Wegner’s ability to create furniture that feels timeless, practical, and refined, making it a compelling choice for interiors focused on enduring design.
