The Cushion Set for Wegner Armchair GE290-2 is a bespoke upholstered cushion set designed to elevate seating comfort for the GE290-2 Armchair while preserving its iconic sculptural poise. Tailored to fit the chair’s seating and backrest surfaces, this cushion set brings refined support and tactile warmth without detracting from the armchair’s elegant silhouette and design integrity.
Design Context
The GE290 Armchair, conceived by Hans J. Wegner, is one of the most celebrated icons of Scandinavian modernism — characterised by its balanced proportions, articulate wood craftsmanship, and human-centred ergonomics. The GE290-2 version expands the seating experience while maintaining the same calm, sculptural presence that has made it a design classic.
Wegner’s philosophy focused on comfort achieved through form and proportion rather than heavy upholstery. This cushion set honours that ethos by enhancing the tactile experience without obscuring the armchair’s original lines.
