EM was created in 1995 and reflects the sleek, minimalistic design of Erik Magnussen. Its satin-polished stainless steel surface and modern styling with a slight concave curve incorporated in its design gives it its distinctive note among cutlery patterns.
Erik Magnussen was born in 1940 in Copenhagen. Educated as a ceramist at the School of Applied Arts and Design - graduated with a silver medal in 1960. In 1997 Erik Magnussen was awarded "The Red Dot" in the "Design Innovations 1997" competition held by Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen and he won the "Good Design Gold Prize" awarded by Japan Industrial Design Promotion Organisation.
Erik Magnussen
Erik Magnussen (1940-2014) was trained as a ceramist at the School of Applied Arts and Design in Copenhagen. Among friends he was called ‘The Potter’. He always introduced himself as a ceramist rather than a designer. Whatever material he chose to work with he would refer to ceramic method. A visionary headmaster at the Bernadotte School saw the young boy’s talent, giving him almost unlimited access to the ceramic workshop - even during math classes. Erik Magnussen’s grandfather was a well known art dealer and a close friend of leading artists in Copenhagen. His father was a gifted engineer involved with the heat treatment of steel and with test driving English motorcycles. As a young artist Erik created large sculptures in both iron and clay, testing the limits of the materials. His interest in technical solutions, and his early contact with industry, designing for the Bing & Grøndahl Porcelain Factory in his early twenties, led him in the direction of industrial design.
