Ejvind A. Johansson

Architect Ejvind A. Johansson (1923-2002) was the leader of the FDB drawing room for three years from 1956-58, after Børge Mogensen and Poul M. Volther.

He was a trained carpenter and completed his studies at the School of Arts and Crafts in 1949. At the age of 33 he was hired as chief architect at FDB Møbler, where he holds the tab high for three years.

During this period he reaches a number of furniture with wide appeal and with a little more foresight than his two predecessors. This may be reflected in the hammer prices Ejvind A. Johansson's furniture often ends up at auction houses today.

As a furniture carpenter, he was, like his colleagues for completed solid craftsmanship combined with aesthetic design that could withstand being used in everyday life.

It is therefore with great pleasure that Coop has relaunched the chair J67, designed by Ejvind A. Johansson in 1957.
