The history of Erik Jørgensen is the story of more than 50 years of Danish furniture design.
With solid roots in the best of craftsmanship traditions and a simple idiom the development at Erik Jørgensen has been driven by a curious search for new materials and architectonic ways of expressions. Erik Jørgensen produces furniture for the contract market and private homes alike. Among some of the big assignments are MoMA in New York and the Opera House in Copenhagen.

EJ 5 Corona
Chair with multi purpose usage whether for contract or residential homes. When a statement with high comfort, contemporary looks yet classic lines are needed.
Corona is designed by Poul M. Volther (1918-2001), an architect of the generation that nurtured fine craftmanship. As a representative of functionalism he was against passing fads and esthetic smartness and loved the meticulous manufacturing of specially selected materials. As a teacher at Danmarks Designskole (the Danish Design School) Poul M. Volther has put his thumbprint on the technical skills of hundreds of young designers.
