Erik Wørts (Erik Worts)
Danish
Erik Wørts (1922-2013) was a Danish designer known for his functionalist and minimalist approach to furniture design. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and trained as a cabinetmaker before studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Wørts's designs are characterized by their clean lines, simple shapes, and functionalist approach. He believed that furniture should be designed to be useful, comfortable, and durable, and his designs reflect this philosophy. Wørts was also known for his use of high-quality materials, such as solid wood and leather, and his attention to detail in the construction of his pieces.
One of Wørts's most famous designs is the OW150 Daybed, which he designed in 1956. The daybed is characterized by its sleek, minimalist design and is made of solid wood with a leather cushion. The design has become an iconic piece of Danish furniture and is still in production today.
Wørts worked for several Danish furniture manufacturers throughout his career, including Fritz Hansen, where he designed the classic Model 2900 series of chairs. He also worked as a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, where he taught furniture design for many years. Wørts received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to Danish design, including the Prince Eugen Medal in 1980 and the Danish Design Award in 2004.
