Wegner Plank Chair, Khaki/Natural

Designed in 1953, Hans Wegner's GE 290 Plank Series features a distinct wind-swept linear frame. The series, akin to the wing chair, has a frame angled as if sculpted in a wind tunnel, showcasing a forward-looking approach. Prior designs focused on individual pieces, but this series offered 1, 2, and 3 seat configurations. Wegner is renowned as a pioneer of Danish Modern Furniture design. The series highlights his integration of wood with practical wool upholstery, a hallmark of Danish style. By the mid-1970s, it became a design icon across Europe, the U.K., and Australia, gaining traction in the U.S. Its limited recognition contributes to its exclusivity, appealing to enthusiasts of Mid-Century Designs and their creators.
