This modernist office chair was designed by Hans J. Wegner for the Danish manufacturer Getama Gedsted in the 1960s. The raw, geometric frame of the chair is made of light oak wood. The seat and backrest are covered in blue fabric. The wide seat and armrests make the chair very comfortable and ideal for working or studying. Hans J. Wegner is a world-renowned Danish designer, primarily known for his numerous chair designs. Wegner had a particular ability to combine functionality and aesthetics. Many of his projects have playful or poetic qualities. Wegner is known as one of the pioneers of Danish modernism and a key figure in the golden age of Nordic design. He received numerous design awards throughout his career, including the Lunning Prize and the Grand Prix at the Milan Triennale in 1951, the Prince Eugen Medal in 1961, and the C. F. Hansen Medal in 1980. Getama embodies something truly Danish. Excellent craftsmanship, quality, and the highest level of service have made the factory known and respected throughout Denmark. This is mainly due to the collaboration with Hans Wegner, which helped Gedsted Tang-og Madrasfabrik make an international breakthrough as a furniture company. Following this breakthrough, the company had to find a shorter and more international name, so in 1953, Gedsted Tang-og Madrasfabrik became Getama. Getama's ambition, after more than a hundred years, is still to create innovative furniture designed by the best architects. The chair is in its original vintage condition. It shows signs of age, wear, scratches on the wood, and discolouration on the fabric. The seat height is 44 cm. The colours of the products shown in the photos may differ slightly from the actual ones. This is due to individual monitor settings and lighting conditions – the photos were taken in artificial light, which may affect the perception of colours. However, we strive to ensure that the photos reflect the actual appearance of the product as faithfully as possible. The offer may include photos of the item in a living space, but these are for illustrative purposes only.
