Kevi 2070 Chair Jørgen Rasmussen, 1958 / 2016

Kevi was originally designed as an office chair in 1958. In 2016, Engelbrechts had the good idea to produce two stackable versions that had been designed by Jørgen Rasmussen in the late 1950s and had been lying dormant in drawers ever since. Available in wood and metal frames, both chairs use the same seat and backrest as the Kevi desk chair.

Jørgen Rasmussen

Jørgen Rasmussen

Jørgen Rasmussen was born in Odense on 26 April 1931. He graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1955 and in 1957, Jørgen and his twin brother, Ib, started their own studio with a focus on single-family homes.

"Some chairs are too technical, but with KEVI we tried to keep the seat simple and durable." - Jørgen Rasmussen

In 1958, Jørgen Rasmussen and his brother started working for KEVI A/S. The twins designed a villa for KEVI's CEO Bent Harlang. The chemistry between them was good and they were invited to design chairs for the company. Primarily, Jørgen took on this assignment and designed KEVI, which by the 1960s had become a versatile task chair for the office and home.

In 1965, Rasmussen invented the double-wheel castor for which he received the ID Prize. It was really a reinvention of the wheel, now with two wheels positioned asymmetrically and rotating independently. The dual wheel castor made KEVI more manoeuvrable with less wear and tear on the floor surfaces.

KEVI castors have revolutionised the office landscape and improved working conditions for many people, and the castors have become an instant success and the chairs are now used all over the world. Today, Rasmussen is still active and is as determined and dedicated today as he was 50 years ago.
