FORA FORM's ambition is to come up with high-profile products at regular intervals, which generate international interest.

The company discovered Copenhagen Chair at a student exhibition in Bergen in 2006. The chair has been designed to cause a stir at informal meeting places, whether in the reception area, in the office or in an open-plan office.

Jury`s verdict

Copenhagen Chair has a strong character and good aesthetic features, but is also comfortable to sit on. It is a smart chair where nothing has been left to chance in terms of its integrated components. It also highlights the cooperation between company and designer. The fact that the seat and back are the same shape gives a sophisticated impression, not to mention simplifies production.

It is also innovative for furniture made of wood as 3D veneer is used in the shell. This chair meets the aim of being eye-catching in a positive way, with its clean-cut design and clear identity. The jury believes Copenhagen Chair will help to promote Fora Form further in new collections.
