Description:
|
|
A graduate of Denmark’s famed Kunsthandwaerkerskol en, or School for the Arts and Crafts. Upon graduation, he opened his own studio; furniture designed and produced there were exhibited at Milan’s Triennale in 1955. Sorensen moved to Montreal the following year, working on major commercial and transportation projects, and eventually becoming involved in the design of three pavilions in the legendary Expo ’67. For Habitat at the expo he designed a few rooms of furniture (including this chair) produced by Ebena Lasalle, a firm he had previously managed.
