The three-seater sofa is a ‘proper’ sofa in the sense that there is room for either a small family, or a little nap along its length. Still, Erik Ole Jorgensen’s Ailey has the light-and-airy styling that is never pretentious or ponderous. With its iconic design and distinctive lines, it epitomises the qualities that have been a signature of Danish furniture design for generations. Erik Ole Jorgensen’s range of spoke-back furniture is from 1978 and makes clear references to the other great designers who laid the foundations of FDB Mobler. Erik Ole Jorgensen had a background as both an upholsterer and a furniture designer, and perhaps this is why the interaction between cushions and furniture is especially successful here.
