About the Item
A beautifully matched pair of GE-270 lounge chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner for Getama, these iconic seating pieces exemplify the elegance, craftsmanship, and functionality that define Danish Modern design. Introduced in the 1950s, the GE-270 is celebrated for its clean architectural lines, sculptural solid teak frame, and exceptional comfort.
Each chair features a finely crafted teak frame with gently curved armrests, exposed joinery, and beautifully proportioned angles that showcase Wegner's mastery of woodworking and organic design. The floating upholstered seat and back cushions create a striking visual lightness while providing outstanding comfort and support.
The rich teak grain and refined construction make these chairs equally suited to sophisticated contemporary interiors and authentic mid-century settings. Whether placed together in a living room, library, or office, they offer both sculptural presence and everyday functionality.
Highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts, the GE-270 remains one of Hans J. Wegner's most enduring and recognizable designs. This pair represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire authentic examples of Scandinavian Modern furniture at its finest. Marked underneath.

Hans J. Wegner
Best known for his chairs and other seating pieces — though a master of many furniture types like sofas and tables — Hans Wegner was a prolific designer whose elegant, often ebullient, forms and devotion to the finest methods in joinery made "Danish Modern" a popular byword for stylish, well-made furniture in the mid-20th century.
Wegner considered himself a carpenter first and a furniture designer second. Like his peers Arne Jacobsen and Finn Juhl, Wegner believed that striking aesthetics in furniture were based on a foundation of practicality: a chair must be comfortable and sturdy before it is chic.
In keeping with that tenet, several of Hans Wegner’s best chair designs have their roots in traditional seating forms. The Peacock chair (designed in 1947) is a throne-like adaptation of the Windsor chair; pieces from the China chair series (begun in 1944) as well as the 1949 Wishbone chair, with its distinctive Y-shaped back splat, are derived from 17th-century Ming seating pieces, as is the upholstered Ox chair (1960). Wegner’s comfy Papa Bear chair (1951) is an almost surreally re-scaled English wingback chair.
Wegner’s most representative piece, the Round chair (1949), gained a footnote in political history when it was used on the TV stage of the first Kennedy-Nixon debate of 1960. That chair, along with Wegner’s more bravura designs — for example, the 1963 Shell chair, with its curved surfboard-shaped seat — bring a quietly sculptural presence to a room.
Wegner was a designer who revered his primary material — wood — and it shows. His wood gathers patina and character with age; every Hans Wegner piece testifies to the life it has led.
