RETROVISOR GETAMA SOFA BY HANS WEGNER IN FREAK HANSEN




DESCRIPTION:
An awesome sofa designed by
Hans Wegner for Getama Gedsted. This particular example is the more difficult to find large four seat version with a middle support post. This design was Wegner's most popular sofa design surely because of its versatility. It was used to accompany most of his chairs because of its linear and minimalist design. As with all of Wegner's designs, it looks beautiful from all angles. The rear is of special note. The angled posts give this sofa its modern flare and are constructed from solid teak, as are the legs and supports. All of the teak surfaces are in excellent condition showing only very minor signs of use. The original Danish wool fabric is in very good condition. What makes this sofa comfortable is Getama's spring cushions as well as the spring supports under the seats. A truly stunning design in original condition that would fit any modern environment.
