And Aage Pedersen was the son of Carl Petersen, the founder of Getama.  He was the head of Getama (Direktør) along with his brother Frank before and during the "Hans Wegner Era". 
Another interesting corollary is that there are two Getama models number 88. This one designed by Aage Pedersen, and a later coffee table designed by Hans Wegner in 1980.

It is ironic that later Wegner designs, like GE-265 in 1978 and GE-284 in 1984 seem to have drawn inspiration from Aage Pedersen's design.
