Erik Jørgensen’s furniture workshop was founded in in Svendborg in 1954 by upholsterer Erik Jørgensen, who mastered the art of combining comfort and craftsmanship with timeless design. Jørgensen’s company developed into a well-reputed furniture upholstering company within a few years. This original design by Erik Ole Jørgensen was created in 1975 and produced by Fredericia Furniture. The “EJ315” series was designed by Erik Jørgensen himself, who, as a designer, is known for his classic and functional sofas. The sofa is part of his original collection - outside the Erik Jørgensen Studio - representing Jørgensen's original design values which were particularly characterized by his sense of materials, compositions, and high level of detail. Through his years as a furniture architect, he has built up a large portfolio of different sofas, all of which share these values. The series and therefore this model also showcases the superb carpentry that underpins the final look and quality of the furniture. The frame is made of machined wood with a clear structure and grain, adding an organic element to the furniture. The seat and back are constructed with a tightly padded shell with perfectly proportioned cushions that balance a sophisticated look with comfort. Dozens of buttons are hand-stitched onto the cushions to create a visually playful look that also embraces contemporary trends along with the striped upholstery. An upright backrest and high armrests help to create a formal seating experience that is ideal in conversational environments or in lobbies as well as hotels. Jørgensen designed this series and this specific sofa model for the world-famous Danish company, Fredericia. Since its foundation in 1911, the family-owned company Fredericia has built a strong tradition of craftsmanship and design, developed in close collaboration with a circle of internationally recognized designers. Fredericia originally specialized in upholstery production. From the start, the products are known for their high level of craftsmanship, which is evident in this sofa as well. Erik Jørgensen has combined good craftsmanship with exceptional comfort for decades, qualities that went on to become the starting point for functional design with a Scandinavian aesthetic.
