He gained particular fame through his pioneering collaboration with the Swedish furniture manufacturer IKEA. For the then-expanding company, he designed functional, aesthetically sophisticated, and affordable furniture that is now sought after by collectors and gallery owners worldwide. Erik Wørts designed the iconic "Kolding" furniture series in 1962. Reflecting the designer's Danish roots, it was named after the Danish port city of Kolding. Pieces from the Kolding series are now among the rarest and most sought-after objects from IKEA's early days. The armchairs are crafted from high-quality teak. The loose cushions are upholstered in rust-brown leather. The armchairs are in very good condition; the leather shows only slight signs of wear.
