ej142 waves bench

A sculptural day bed? A wavy furniture ocean? A body-shaped space for meditative relaxation? Ernst and Jensen have designed Waves, which is all these things and more. An unconventional piece of furniture for the public space and formal waiting areas. A tangible conversation piece. Waves was created for Erik Jørgensen's first talent competition in 1994 that was held to mark the company's 40th anniversary. The two architecture students designed the piece together and won - and since then, the duo has designed several ground-breaking Erik Jørgensen products, including the sofa series In Duplo, the table series Insula and the easy chair Ginko.

With their joint work in recent years, Anne-Mette Jensen (1969) and Morten Ernst (1964) have manifested themselves as exponents of contemporary Danish design. The duo's collaboration dates back to their time as students at the School of Architecture, where they won Erik Jørgensen's talent competition for the day bed Waves. Most recently, the duo has drawn international attention with the sofa series In Duplo, which won Wallpaper's Design Prize in 2011. Other neo-classic designs by the duo for Erik Jørgensen include the table series Insula, the bench EJ 144 and the easy chair Ginko.

EJ142 Waves features cold cured foam over a black lacquered fiberglass frame and upholstered in leather. Please call the hive showroom with any questions: 1-866-663-4483.
