GE290

The GE290, famously known as the Plank Chair, is an icon of Danish Modernist design created by Hans J. Wegner in 1953 for Getama. Celebrated for its perfect balance between sturdiness and clean lines, the chair is distinguished by its characteristic wide, flat armrests (hence the name "Plank") and angled rear legs that create a dynamic, sculptural profile. Traditionally crafted in solid oak or beech with a vertical slatted backrest, this armchair combines refined aesthetics with superior ergonomic comfort—thanks to cushions often featuring internal spring units—making it a timeless collector's piece that fits seamlessly into both classic and contemporary interiors.
