No.1 chair

In 1955, when Andreas Graversen acquired Fredericia, he did so with one stipulation. That the production of furniture would be aligned with the vision of Børge Mogensen, who Graversen had appointed as Head of Design based on Mogensen’s pure, honest, unpretentious style.

The No. 1 Sofa was the first sofa series that Mogensen designed for Fredericia, and it marked the start of a close collaboration.

Mogensen imbued the No. 1 Sofa with his masterful sense of materials and proportions, emphasising the horizontal and vertical lines, with clean angular armrests. The tightly upholstered wooden frame is softened by loose, interchangeable buttoned cushions.

It’s all in keeping with Mogensen’s quest to create functional furniture that would enhance people’s everyday lives.
