Jørgen Høvelskov was born in 1935. He served as a Danish visual artist who produced key works as part of the golden age of Danish furniture. Høvelskov created the "Viking Chair," which was exhibited for the first time in 1963. The chair was awarded the best design at the Copenhagen Company of Joiners, one of the highest accolades at that time. The Viking Chair was renamed the "Harp Chair," which boasted a unique design and was sold globally. It was inspired by a Viking ship and featured a harp-like backrest and seat. The chair also included the artistic quality and aesthetic visual appeal of a harp, boasting rope seating that provided body-conforming comfort and support while creating a unique look.
