In autumn 1949, Nisse and Kajsa's STRING shelf won first prize in the Bonniers library competition. Made up of blue wall panels and pine shelves, their creation beat out 194 competitors from all over Europe, the United States and even Australia. For the 75th anniversary of the String bookshelf, we produced a limited series of 1949 bookshelves with the original blue wall panels and solid pine shelves. Just like the winning 1949 model.
In creating the EJ 295, the Erik Jorgensen design team wanted to use the best of the classic sofas for which Erik Jorgensen is renowned. This, combined with the demands of today's consumers, led the EJ design team to create a sofa where the whole family can gather. This is the essence of a welcoming living room sofa.
The EJ280 is a modern, minimalist sofa. The large, soft cushions invite you to relax. The starting point for the design is uncompromising comfort in a sofa created with one purpose in mind: to let you sit back and relax.
The original Pira shelf designed in 1954 was as contradictory as the man who conceived it. Olle Pira (1927-2018) was a traditional master cabinet-maker who crafted cherry, maple and matured oak with age-old skills. Yet he won a place at the renowned Konstfack school of art, craft and design, the birthplace of concepts ahead of their times. And became the first Swede to win a gold medal at the Triennale in Milan in 1952.
Designer: Anne-Mette Bartholin Jensen & Morten Ernst Nature and organic forms are part of the inspiration of the table series of INSULA. It consists of coffee tables in two different sizes.
