Item Details
Age: Circa 2001
Background
Founded in 1986 by Danish upholsterer Arne Norgaard Christiansen, Woodmark International transitioned from importing to manufacturing Danish‑designed furniture in Australia by 31 December 1990, becoming a pioneer in producing licensed pieces for brands like Erik Jørgensen and Fritz Hansen. Known for high‑quality craftsmanship, Woodmark furnished iconic projects such as the Sydney Opera House and collaborated with Australian designer Charles Wilson on the acclaimed CW1 Swivel Chair, now in the Powerhouse Museum. Jørgensen Australia, likely a licensing partner of Denmark’s Erik Jørgensen Møbelfabrik (est. 1954), worked with Woodmark to produce designs like the EJ70 “Partner” Chair locally — blending Scandinavian minimalism with Australian manufacturing expertise to deliver premium furniture for commercial and residential markets.
