I EJ 20 har professor Jørgen
Gammelgaard (1938-1991)
dygtigt forstået at understrege
kontrasten mellem det stramme,
maskuline ydre og det bløde,
feminine indre. Den udvendige
skal fungerer som stellet, der
bærer de bløde hynder, som er
gjort ekstra fyldige ved hjælp
af en smal bund. Den faste arms
runding, der gentages i den løse
hynde, giver en overrumplende
effekt, der understreger sofaens
egenart og giver den spændstighed.
Jørgen Gammelgaard var en
af Danmarks dygtige og alsidige
formgivere. Fra 1987 og frem til
sin død var Jørgen Gammelgaard
professor på Kunstakademiet.
By envisioning EJ 20 professor
Jørgen Gammelgaard (1938-
1991) has cleverly accentuated
the contrast between stern
masculine exterior and soft
feminine interior. The exterior
shell supports the soft cushions,
which have all been afforded
extra volume due to the thinness
of the underframe. The curve
of the firm armrest, which is
repeated in the loose cushion,
creates an unexpected effect,
which helps give the sofa its
look of suppleness, as well as
underlining its singularity.
Jørgen Gammelgaard was one of
the most talented and versatile
designers in Denmark. From
1987 until his death, Jørgen
Gammelgaard was a professor
at The Academy of Fine Arts.
