Konsep
Practical, durable designs to enrich people's everyday lives. That sums up the essence of Børge Mogensen’s overall intention with his work. Referring to wood as his preferred material, Mogensen designed an array of pieces noted for their sober expression and superb sense of proportion.
Mogensen applied the same principles to his iconic series of tables, appreciated for their clean, uncluttered lines inspired by the functional, utilitarian approach of the Shaker movement.
All our Mogensen tables reflect his ambition to create beautiful, distinctive furniture by emphasising simple horizontal and vertical lines and surfaces. A restrained aesthetic with a modest appearance intended to create a sense of tranquillity.
All of which makes the Mogensen tables an ideal choice for any gathering you can imagine. From corporate settings and meeting rooms to group dining and socialising.

Børge Mogensen
Denmark
Most people have heard of Børge Mogensen, a furniture designer whose collaboration with FDB, the Danish co-operative chain, enabled Danes to buy high-quality furniture at affordable prices. He went on to create some of the most widely recognised furniture classics of the 1950s and 1960s, a wide selection, in fact, thanks to his prolific productivity. Ideas came to Børge at all times of the day and night, and he noted them down on whatever was at hand: matchboxes, napkins or crumpled envelopes. For example, the Hunting Chair, destined to become one of Mogensen’s many classics, was sketched on a matchbox late at night in the company of good friends. We cannot say the name Børge Mogensen without also mentioning Andreas Graversen. Designer and manufacturer are always dependent on each other, but in this particular case, Andreas Graversen’s acquisition of Fredericia Furniture in 1955 marked the start of more than a purely professional partnership. Over the years, the two men developed a strong – and at times temperamental – friendship fuelled by a common desire to create simple, quality furniture with timeless aesthetic appeal. Before Mogensen’s untimely death in 1972, they jointly won the Furniture Prize in 1971 for their long-term collaboration, still appreciated today in private homes and public offices alike. 1934 Trained as a cabinet maker 1934-36 Worked as a joiner in Copenhagen and Aalborg 1938 Trained as a furniture designer at the School of Arts, Crafts and Design/Furniture School, Copenhagen, under Professor Kaare Klint, with whom he developed a close partnership 1942 Trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture 1938-43 Worked at various design studios in Copenhagen, including with Kaare Klint 1942-50 Manager of FDB’s furniture design studio, Copenhagen 1945 Awarded the Bissen Scholarship, Denmark 1945-47 Teaching assistant with Professor Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts' School of Architecture, Copenhagen 1950 Awarded the Eckersberg Medal, Denmark 1950-1972 Established own design studio, Copenhagen 1955 Partnership with FREDERICIA FURNITURE A/S begins 1971 Awarded the Furniture Prize, Denmark, in conjunction with FREDERICIA FURNITURE A/S Elected Honorary Royal Designer of Industry by the Royal Society of Arts, London 1972 Awarded the C.F.
