Kevi Chaise pivotante – tapissée Jørgen Rasmussen, 1958

In 1965, the architect Jørgen Rasmussen invented the two-wheel castor, which made the Kevi chair more manoeuvrable with less wear and tear on floors and parquet. There is nothing superfluous about the chair: the seat, backrest, base and levers are designed to be fully functional.

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.
