DESIGNER
Jørgen Mensen
Jørgen Mensen has designed 100s of chairs for DAN-FORM, both originating from his own ideas as well as in collaboration with other designers.
He started DAN-FORM based on a bentwood chair called JACKPOT, and was a great part of the design development of the DAN-FORM modern classic; DOLPHIN chair.
"Sometimes a simple shape I see in nature or in the street kickstarts a train of constructional thoughts on how to derive a chair from that shape."
Business & Design
Throughout his carreer, Jørgen has been acknowledged for both his designs and business skills. In 2010 as "Danish Innovation Champ".
After many years as CEO and owner of DAN-FORM, Jørgen retired in 2020 and sold his shares.
