As a special collaboration, Københavns Møbelsnedkeri produces the EOJ-1962 sofa designed by Erik Ole Jørgensen in 1962.
 
EOJ-1962 is produced in solid oak and comes with loose cushions in different colors and neck cushions with core leather straps. The sofa is fitted with brass screws. Measurements: L. 205 cm. H. 97 cm. D. 93 cm. 
 
In 1961, Jørgensen designed a forerunner of the EOJ-1962 sofa – the GJ5. The first sofa, however, which was produced in Jørgensen’s own company Georg Jørgensen & Søn, had legs and back supports in steel. Both models are distinguished by their high and curved back frames inspired by the nautical frame of a wooden ship, usually constructed with ribs.

With Jørgensen’s aesthetic translation of the nautical frame, the sofa is equally an homage to the original wooden boat craftmanship, as it is an exploration of form and natural elements. 

With the EOJ-1962 model, Jørgensen replaced the steel legs and steel back supports with oak. The pre-industrial and authentic choice of materials not only underscore the design, but also align with the values of sustainability that we strive for today.
