The simple, yet characteristic design of the 2207 is a continuation of Kaare Klint’s sofas from the 1920s, which inspired details such as the curve in the armrest and the arch of the back.
Borge Mogensen (1914–1972) started his career as a cabinetmaker in 1934.
In 1936 he went on to study at the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts under Professor Kaare Klint before entering the Royal Academy of Fine Arts from where he graduated as an architect in 1942. He became head of design at FDB (the Danish co-op) in 1942 before establishing his own design office in 1950.
