The chaise-longue Flugstol was designed for the “Haute-Couture of Furniture” exhibition held at the Danish Design Center in Copenhagen. Two thin laminated walnut shells delicately attached in the middle by a string constitute this masterpiece of contemporary Danish design. The chair represents a highly sculptural statement and allows the viewer a rich flow of associations such as the lacing of a corset or a leaf floating in space.
Both the Nomad chair and the Flugtstol reveal Erling Christoffersen’s fascination with bended wood and with the metamorphose of a material into a three-dimensional object.

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).
Erling Christoffersen’s double training as an architect and as a cabinet-maker allows him to explore the intrinsic qualities of wood.
