Wegner Plank Chair, Charcoal/Walnut Stain
Wegner Plank Mid-century Modern Armchair
Hans Wegner, one of the most recognized names of modern Danish furniture design created the GE 290 Plank Series in 1953. Clean sweeping lines made of a solid ash frame and thick cube style cushions in soft cashmere wool are sure to evoke the retro spirit of the Danish Modern era in your setting.
Making the icon
Trendy since 1953, this icon of Danish modern furniture design has grown in popularity over the passing years. It reached “Classic Status” in Europe and Australia in the mid 1970’s. Its popularity in the U.S is now on the rise, however on a positive note, it is not a design that is known to the masses. Ownership of this series still has the advantage of exclusivity to it as it denotes a deeper understanding of the Mid-Century Designs and their designers.
Hans is no doubt the father of Danish Modern Furniture design. This series shows his desire to incorporate wood as is present in much of the Danish designs with wool upholstery for its practical comfort. This reproduction, built to the original specifications will please the most informed Danish modern furniture connoisseur. Similar to the wing chair, the frame of the plank series is pitched backward in angle in such a way that one can imagine the series being produced in a wind tunnel. The look denotes the forward thinking, forward direction Series GE 290 design. In previous designs, Hans had created single pieces. The notable element of the Plank series was the 1, 2 and 3 seat configuration as options.
About Cashmere Wool Tweed
Cashmere wool fiber is obtained from “Cashmere goats.” Historically, fine-haired Cashmere goats have been called Capra hircus laniger, as if they were a subspecies of the domestic goat Capra Hircus. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn.
