Together with Finn Juhl, he furnished the first apartment in the Sortedamsdoszation in Copenhagen, where his armchair in rattan was exhibited in the living room. From his workshop he designed a selection of rattan and upholstered furniture in line with his own design philosophy. The furniture should have an organic flow and embrace the body smoothly and comfortably. The design must be comfortable for the eyes, but at the same time the furniture must be sturdy and durable.
