Wanting to experiment with the beautiful rounded shape of plywood shells, Mogensen first created a prototype Soborg chair design in 1948, participating in MoMa'S 'low-cost furniture' international design competition. Reflecting his purposeful, functionalist design identity, the chair's sculptural yet sturdy structure, finished with a comforting upholstered seat, creates a supportive and stylish seated space. Available with a comforting upholstered leather seat and durable steel frame, the chair has been expertly crafted to grow with an interior space over time, perfect for a dining or kitchen space. Part of the Fredericia Soborg collection.
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.
