'EJ-555 Frame' by Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen for Erik Jørgensen
Erik Jørgensen is one of the many Scandinavian companys which was founded in the mid century when Scandinavian design started to obtain worldwide glory. ‘EJ-555 Frame’, designed by the Copenhagen based duo Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen, is one of the newest sofas by the Danish manufacturer.
The Japanese designer Tomoyuki Matsuoka designed this family of simple and graphical chairs for the Swedish manufacturer Blå Station. ‘Latte’ consists of a lacquered tubular steel frame and a seating made from laser-cut sheet metal. Anyway it is also availabe with an upholstered seat pad and therefore suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Known for their colourful collection Blå Station also developed a beautiful colour scheme for ‘Latte’.
Back to roots: After times of formal experimentation and technical and aesthetic hig-end appearances it seems like the archtypical design found its way back to modern living rooms – original forms which refer to times, when things were above all appreciated for their usability. Some of the new creations by the Swedish lighting manufacturer ZERO took up this trend. Jens Fager’s series of lamps ‘Lens’ consists of two pendant lights and a table lamp. The lamp shades are made from painted aluminum and matt acrylic. The table lamp can be mounted on the adjustable table base or fixed through the table top.
'Close to be open' by Agnes Ögren and Valerie Otte
The Berlin and Zurich based designers Valerie Otte and Agnes Ögren cultivate something you could call a long distance studio. Collaborating via Skype and e-mail the two managed to develop their ideas and realise a hormonic series of furniture, which they presented at this year’s Greenhouse during the Stockholm Furniture Fair for the first time.
'Close to be open' by Agnes Ögren and Valerie Otte
“The project explores both the mechanical-physical and the metaphysical aspects of opening and closing and of open and closed states. Both designers are fascinated by products which refer in some way to this and other grey zones of transition.”
