With each component created for a precise purpose, the BM71 Library Table is stylish and highly practical. The multi-purpose design, crafted in oak, takes inspiration from the English gateleg table dating back to the Baroque period. Mogensen’s take is elegant and refined, boasting two-hinged leaves that fold vertically when not in use.
Perfectly suited to classic and contemporary interiors, the table can be adapted to almost any space.
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.
