Rooted in a 1970 original by Borge Mogensen and influenced by his iconic Spanish Chair, The Canvas Chair reinterprets a modernist classic for outdoor contemporary living. Drawing on safari chair archetypes and Mogensen’s devotion to proportion and material integrity, Fredericia’s first foray into outdoor furniture honours a design legacy now evolved for life beyond interior walls.
Crafted from FSC®-certified teak that matures to a refined silver-grey patina, and paired with durable performance canvas by Sunbrella, the chair is built to withstand the elements beautifully. Light yet robust, it moves effortlessly between terrace and living room. With generous armrests for a book or coffee, you’ll experience relaxed, enduring comfort wherever you place The Canvas Chair.
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.
