Designer of the month - Erik Magnussen

Erik Magnussen (1940-2014) was a Danish ceramic and industrial designer. Graduated from the School of Applied Arts and Design, the Nordic was awarded a silver medal in 1960. His works - ranging from chinaware to furniture, lighting pieces and high-tech products - are characterized by simplicity and functional elegance.

He has worked directly with manufacturers such as Bing & Grøndahl, Stelton, Fritz Hansen, Royal Copenhagen, Paustian, Royal Selangor and Shipmate, and has developed numerous products using different materials.

The CHAIRIK chair corresponds to an architectural example of the designer's simplistic and functional style, having placed Erik Magnussen in the universe of design. His projects are highly known and are exhibited in museums all over the world. The Nordic portfolio has received several awards - he was the youngest person ever to receive the Lunnig Award in 1967, and was entitled the "Honorary Royal Designer for Industry" by the Royal Society of Arts in London. A decade later, he was awarded the Furniture Award, and in the 1980s he was recognised as designer of the year by the Danish Design Council. In 2011, he also received the Red Dot Award from PLATEAU.

One of his most famous products is the EM77 Jug he designed for Stelton in 1977, an icon that put the Danish on the world map.
Created in 1977, the timeless line of EM77 thermo jugs remains elegant and iconic.

To mark its 40th anniversary, in 2017, Stelton presented a special line to celebrate the EM77 thermal jug. The collection is known by an exclusive logo, designed by Erik Magnussen himself and is available in three metallic finishes: black, dark brown and dark blue. The inclined lid of the jug allows people to drink with refinement and sophistication.

The designer's collaboration with the Stelton brand also includes various equipment including tea stainers, water jugs, sugar bowls, lamps, among other accessories capable of creating elegant and welcoming atmospheres.
