Designer

Erik Jørgensen

Erik Jørgensen (1928-1998) was a Danish furniture designer and manufacturer who played a crucial role in bringing Danish design to international prominence. He began his career as a trained upholsterer before founding his own company in 1954. Jørgensen is known for his close collaboration with Hans Wegner, producing iconic pieces like the Ox Chair (1960), the Queen Chair (1964), and the Corona Chair (1964). Jørgensen's designs combine expert craftsmanship with artistic forms.

Hans Wegner

Hans Wegner (1914-2007) was a Danish furniture designer known as the "Master of the Chair," significantly influencing Danish Modern design worldwide. He began his career after studying at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts and opening his own studio in 1943. Wegner created over 500 chair designs, including the iconic Wishbone Chair (1949), Round Chair (1949), and Flag Halyard Chair (1950). His philosophy, "A chair is to have no backside. It should be beautiful from all sides and angles," guided his detailed approach. Wegner's work elevated Danish design on the global stage, earning him countless awards and museum exhibitions.
