Rare GE151 chair by H.Wegner

GE151 Armchair, an iconic piece designed by the legendary Hans J. Wegner for the esteemed Danish manufacturer Getama Gedsted during the 1960s. This chair perfectly encapsulates Wegner's genius for blending form and function. Its presence is defined by a raw, geometric frame crafted from light oak wood. The sturdy, rectilinear lines offer a visual clarity and structural honesty that are the hallmarks of true modernism.

The clean wooden framework is beautifully contrasted by the rich, tactile upholstery. The wide seat and backrest are covered in a high-quality dark brown wool, providing a sophisticated contrast against the light oak. The GE151 is designed for prolonged, comfortable use. The generous proportions of the seat combined with the well-placed armrests make this chair exceptionally comfortable. It is an ideal piece for various settings—whether pulled up to a desk for focused working or studying, or simply serving as a stylish, comfortable accent in a living area.
