The Bow Chair was designed in 2015 by the Danish designer Erling Christoffersen for the exhibition Petit at the Øregaard Museum in Denmark. Erling
Christoffersen’s double training as an architect and as a cabinet-maker allows him to explore the intrinsic qualities of wood. As well as earlier works
such as the Nomad chair and the Flugtstol, the Bow Chair reveals Erling Christoffersen’s fascination with the thin proportions of bended wood and its
possibilities of lightness and grace.
Architect, designer and professor Erling Christoffersen created in 1989 the “Studio 134” together with fellow architects Bjoerli Lundin and Flemming
Steen Jensen. The three designers were passionated about interior design, furniture and graphic design, and in 2002, Erling Christoffersen opened his
own agency while teaching at the Design School of Denmark and in other different universities (Victoria, Melbourne and Oregon universities).
