The J39 Portraits Ida Ravn

“I love to spend hours searching for interiors, whether online or travelling. Sometimes my boyfriend and I find furniture totally by coincidence, as when stumbling over an interesting gallery hidden away in a backyard happening to have a gorgeous side table. Occasionally, we dream of owning one particular object that would fit our home. We’d rather wait for the right piece rather than compromise, as it needs to feel right for us. We even had a giant crane one time helping with some big lounge furniture we needed to get through our window. When we put our minds to it, there is no turning back. Our living room is a room for conversations. We enjoy entertaining and having friends come over for dinner and wine, just hanging out. At the same time, my home is my sanctuary, where I ground myself and find my inner peace.

We bought our vintage J39 chair two years ago. It was the first piece of furniture we acquired for our apartment, and it felt nice and safe as it’s a chair that will fit almost everywhere. I love how the chair’s beautiful patina complements the old wooden floors of our living room. I also love the fact that it had a previous life before ending up at our place. To me, it’s essential to think about the longevity of an object, hoping it can stay with me forever.

We also have the J39 chairs and the Mogensen C18 table in our Easypeacylimonesqueezy takeaway boutique at Vester Farimagsgade, where the furniture help emphasise our philosophy of good quality and honest materials, just like the food we make and serve.
