The 290 Plank Sofa was originally designed by Hans J. Wegner in 1953. This 3-seater sofa is recognizable by its broad armrests and visible external wooden frame, giving it its "plank" moniker.
Wegner’s philosophy in furniture design was to create pieces that were functional and exceptional. He famously said, "I have always wanted to make unexceptional things of an exceptionally high quality."
The Plank Sofa combines traditional wood craftsmanship with exceptional comfort.
Shown in Mosaic Woven Upholstery on Black Painted Oak.
