Ejvind A. Johansson (1923 to 2002) graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1949, and in 1956 became head designer at a Danish furniture factory. He belongs to the functional strand of Danish modernism, building on Børge Mogensen's direct approach and aiming for clear, distinctive and durable design for everyday use, with the wooden chair at the centre of his work. Matzform produces his Eye chair, dated 1961, as part of its licensed programme of mid-century Scandinavian designs. Eye is a dining chair intended for both residential and contract settings, made by hand with a frame of FSC-certified American white oak.
