BØRGE MOGENSEN Dining Chair
Børge Mogensen was a highly influential post-war designer and a leading representative of Danish Modern. His design included simple and functional wooden furniture for both private and public spaces, with calm aesthetics and strong construction from quality materials.
Mogensen studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and completed his cabinetmaker training in 1934, followed by studies in furniture design. He began his own design studio in 1950, making modern, useful furniture produced from local, Nordic materials. His inspiration, however came from many cultures and styles, including international modernism, ethnic arts, Japanese carvings, and historic works.
Mogensen also taught furniture design, he was awarded for his creations and appointed Honorary Royal Designer for Industry at the Royal Society of Arts in London.

What all these pieces have in common is that they are Swedish classics of the highest quality that can withstand the wear and tear of generations.
