Not at all.
Even something like a chair, that everyone might need could not be centrally planned.
Every house is different, each table height might be different, climates across the country might be different which would require different preferred materials, etc.
Absolutely no personal good or service is better when chosen by somebody else than you, the only one who has perfect information about your personal needs.

The issue is less whether a chair, or your underwear, could better be chosen by some faraway superbrain than by you.
The issue is more whether locating a highway, or coming up with an industrial policy, or making the assessment to not allow straws in NYC, is a decision that can better maximize human flourishing than aggregated individual market choices.
