Sofas by Hans J. Wegner

Læs beskrivelsen Læs mindre

Hans J. Wegner is world-renowned for his sofas, where functionality, comfort and Danish craftsmanship come together in timeless design. At KLASSIK you will find original Wegner sofas from manufacturers such as Getama – including the popular GE 290 series, Cigar sofas and the rare daybeds. All sofas are original vintage furniture from the 1950s-1970s, often restored or with new cushions from our workshop. With a Wegner sofa you get an iconic piece of furniture that combines aesthetics, durability and investment in Danish design history.

The story behind

Hans J. Wegner (1914–2007) is world-renowned for his chairs, but his sofas occupy an equally important place in Danish furniture history. Wegner's sofas are characterized by the same basic philosophy as his chairs: function before decoration, uncompromising craftsmanship and a design language that will last over time.

Wegner developed several sofas in collaboration with manufacturers such as Getama and AP Stolen. The sofas were designed for private homes and public spaces and combine comfort, aesthetics and robustness. Today, Wegner sofas are sought-after design classics and a natural choice for those who want true Danish modernism.

The design and materials

Wegner's sofas are often constructed with solid wood frames – typically oak or teak – and with loose or fixed cushions in wool or leather. The construction is visible and honest, and the proportions are carefully balanced, so that the sofa appears light but solid.

The cushions are usually constructed with springs and foam, which provides high seating comfort and a long lifespan. Several models are available in both 2- and 3-seater versions, as well as with matching armchairs and stools.

Famous models of Wegner sofas

GE 290 – Sofa series

The GE 290 series is among Wegner's most famous sofas. The series was designed in 1953 and produced by Getama. The sofas are characterized by their low, wide shape and strict lines. They are available as 2- and 3-seater sofas and match the GE 290 armchairs in both proportions and choice of materials.

GE 236 – Slatted sofa

GE 236 is a sofa with an open wooden frame and loose cushions. It is related to Wegner's other slatted furniture and combines light construction with high comfort. The sofa is typically made of oak or teak and upholstered in wool or leather.

AP 18S – Upholstered sofa

AP 18S is a more compact and fully upholstered Wegner sofa produced by AP Stolen. It has a soft and inviting expression, but retains Wegner's characteristic rigor in proportions and details. The sofa is suitable for both private homes and more formal settings.

GE 1 – Daybed

GE 1 is a daybed designed by Hans Wegner with a focus on flexibility and simplicity. The construction is light and functional, and the piece of furniture can be used both as a sofa and a resting place. The frame is made of solid wood and is combined with loose cushions.

AP 20 – Sofa

AP 20 is a classic Wegner sofa with a clear focus on comfort. It is produced by AP Stolen and has a solid wooden frame combined with upholstered cushions. The sofa appears calm and balanced and fits naturally into Wegner's other furniture universe.
