Description
The option of upholstery in fine fabric or leather enhances Kevi Chair, architect Jørgen Rasmussen's update of his landmark 1958 design. Giving form to his credo that comfortable, supportive seating enhances the ability to get work done, model 2534 features a visible backrest cover and seat edge in black plastic with the durable foam-molded seat. Available in 4 different height options, all with the characteristic aluminum base equipped with automatic height adjustment and the now-ubiquitous double-wheel castor introduced by Jørgen in 1965 which is now an industry standard.

Brand
Engelbrechts
Founder Morten Engelbrecht found his bliss while working for a Copenhagen furniture store at age 17. He didn’t know it at first; he even tried twice to get into architecture school. “I realized that it was never going to happen,” he says, and in 1989 he started his own furniture company while still in his twenties. First as an importer of other European brands, Engelbrechts then developed into an international manufacturer, partnering with the likes of renowned Danish designers Erik Magnussen, Jørgen Rasmussen and Anders Hermansen.
“Simplicity, functionality, high comfort, the design must be useful,” Morten says as he ticks off the company’s priorities. “We don’t make small details just to make it look nice, that’s not how we work.” Creating timeless furniture is also how his company looks to the future. “Good design is sustainable, both in terms of the environment but also sustainable in terms of long-lasting products that you want to keep for a lifetime.”
