Resurrecting Iconic Mid-Century Modern Design with Eikund
Introducing Eikund
Eikund is on a mission to resurrect iconic, mid-century pieces designed by the legends of the era. Revisiting designers like Fredrik A. Kayser and Sven Ivar Dysthe, Eikund breathes new life into obscure and classic pieces alike, bringing simple, yet expressive, pieces like the Hertug Dining Chair into the 21st century with a refreshed – and more eco-friendly – perspective.
Inspired By Nature
Surrounded by majestic Nordic nature, Eikund pulls more than just design inspiration from their surroundings. Starting with the very materials used, all the way down to the packaging and delivery methods, Eikund keeps one eye on the sustainable future. Devoted to five tenants of eco-responsibility – including responsibly sourcing all materials, recycling all waste, and reducing CO2 emissions – Eikund has become a company at the forefront of environmentally-friendly production standards.
A Collection Ahead of Its Time
Era Dining Chair
Proudly bearing the title of “most interesting product,” as dubbed by the Bonytt magazine, the Era Dining Chair fuses three materials into a cohesive and expressive dining chair with an untouched air of authenticity. A black, powder-coated metal frame and bent oak backrest support a simple leather-upholstered seat creating an airy, versatile dining chair perfect for modern dining spaces. The Era Dining Chair’s elegant form allows it to be stacked in groups of three and makes it the perfect pairing for the Oya Dining Table.
Evja Rectangular Coffee Table
The delicate curvature of the Evja Rectangular Coffee Table’s tabletop that blends into the legs, gives the impression that the table was carved from a single piece of wood. An ingenious detail, it gives the Evja Rectangular Coffee Table a weightless look which, when combined with the natural wood and smooth edges, results in a beautifully simple, yet aesthetically engaging table. Pair the Evja Rectangular Coffee Table with the Veng Lounge Chair in any contemporary living room.
Jaer Bar Stool
Unapologetically simple, the Jaer Bar Stool still epitomizes mid-century design. Humble in form and honest in materials, the oak of the Jaer Bar Stool is allowed to speak for itself, while the three legs and round seat make it a comfortable and authentic fit for all bar spaces.
Aging Gracefully
Eikund is only seven years old, but their products are built to well outlive their original owners. A cornerstone of Eikund’s mission is quality, and each piece – from the humble Jaer Bar Stool to the profusive luxury of the Fluffy Lounge Chair – is meant to age with grace as it takes on the gentle and warm patina of daily use.
Using upcycled materials, FSC certified wood, genuine leather, low-tox finishes, and the highest quality craftsmanship, Eikund plans to see their designs become heirlooms and a turning point in the elimination of throw-away culture.
Eikund is in the business of producing an ambitious, timeless collection inspired by their Norwegian surroundings. They want to honor cultural traditions, pay homage to the geniuses of the ‘50s and ‘60s, and beautify the planet just as much as modern homes.
