Zdown

Images

Erik Magnussen designed the Zdown, which, in its characteristically simple form, combines chrome steel tubing – connected only by a bayonet lock – with the finest Italian natural leather. The Zdown unites high sitting comfort, aesthetic harmony, exquisite materials and great durability with a surprising natural feel. It makes an equally strong impression whether it's placed in a hotel, foyer, conference room or private living-room.

Erik Magnussen

Erik Magnussen was born in Copenhagen in 1940. As a newly graduated ceramicist in the sixties, he started working for the then highly esteemed Copenhagen porcelain industry. Before long, he broke from tradition and created modern services with few multi-functional parts to avoid repeating the mistakes of the earlier multi-functional services.

He later applied this idea to the tabletop and furniture industries and went on to design the thermos for Stelton and the stackable chair, CHAIRIK®, for Engelbrechts. Both products are typical examples of how Erik Magnussen wipes the slate clean each time he begins on a new project and starts from scratch with the sole goal of improvement.
