About Markus Johansson

For me (Markus), design is about conveying an emotion that affects human Life and enhance everyday life. I (Markus) get my inspiration from different areas between humans and artifacts, through various tests, processes and studies where I am looking for the true path. My (his) vision is about combining technology, function and form with the goal of making everyday life more content. Environmental awareness is obviously important, but may not prevent creativity, my goal is to create products with new shapes and lasting value.

Since I (Markus)was a little kid, I (he) always felt a great energy and desire to create. When I (he)grew up I used to communicate using pictures and by drawing, shaping and coloring. After six years of studying furniture and product design at various schools, I am ( he is) now working as a freelance designer with products and furniture.

Today I work with both Swedish and international design companies, as well as in his own Markus Johansson Design Studio. His widely acclaimed Nest chair has been acquired by MAD, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York.

J67 Chair by Ejvind A. Johansson

J67 Chair by Ejvind A. Johansson for FDB Møbler

“There is much more to furniture design than maths and science”
The architect Ejvind A. Johansson (1923-2002) headed the FDB design studio for three years from 1956 to 1958 after Børge Mogensen and Poul M. Volther.

He trained as a cabinetmaker, and completed his studies at the School of Arts and Crafts in 1949. At the age of 33, he was appointed head of design at FDB Møbler, where he kept the flag flying for three years.

During this period, he managed to design a range of furniture with broad appeal, and which embraced the future to a slightly greater extent than the designs of his two predecessors. This is perhaps reflected in the prices which Ejvind A. Johansson’s furniture often fetches at auction houses today.

As a cabinetmaker, he favoured – like Mogensen and Volther – solid craftsmanship combined with aesthetic design which was built for daily use.

It is therefore with great pleasure that Coop has relaunched the chair J67, designed by Ejvind A. Johansson in 1957.

By Flou price is € 339,00.
