Mogensen was always fascinated by the natural characteristics of trees, often creating beautiful solid-wood designs inspired by the distinctive Shaker style; putting high-quality materials, simple structures and quality craftsmanship at the forefront. The BM2 Dining Armchair is a beautiful embodiment of this design ethos, available in a range of solid wood finishes, with a tactile hand-woven paper cord seat, the chair supports the user in a comfortable embrace, perfect for when dining with friends and family. A beautifully crafted piece, the timeless, sophisticated design can seamlessly integrate into interior styles both classic and contemporary. Also available without armrests.
