A true functionalist, Børge Mogensen believed that furniture should encourage freedom of personality. With its discrete design, sturdy construction this fits perfectly in any environment, at home, in restaurants, in working areas or any socially engaging 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.
