Description

JOHANNES FOERSOM (Denmark, 1947). Set of four chairs. Aluminium legs and leather upholstery (quince-coloured back, grey seat). They show signs of use. Measurements: 96 x 63 x 57 cm. The design of these chairs responds to the assimilation and renovation of the Scandinavian avant-garde language, bringing it back to contemporary tastes. The rectangular backrest harmonises with the cylindrical seats. The ensemble is defined by its formal purity, elegantly proportioned geometry and comfort. Johannes Foersom is a renowned furniture designer in contemporary Scandinavian design. The aim of his creations is to give them lasting value, stimulating healthy development for people and their surroundings. He has often worked in duo with designer Peter Hiort-Lorenzen. The couple strives for the highest quality in cooperation, process and product, and believes that knowledge and innovation are fundamental to the successful development of the firm. The exceptional use of flexibility makes the furniture appear as small architectural marvels. Throughout their careers, both designers have received numerous awards, among them: The Danish State Art's Fund (190,1972 and 1977), Kröyer's Memorial Award (1974, 1975), the Nationalbanken's Jubilee Fund (1980), the Annual Award of the Danish Furniture manufacturers (1985), Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen's Prize for high design quality (1992, 1994, 1995, 1999), the Forsnäs Prize (1994), Bo Bedre's Design Award (1995, 1996, 1997), the Best of Neocon (1995)); Bruno Mathsson Award (1998), the Excellet Swedish From the Table Atlas (2000) and the Finn Juhl Prize (2005).
