DescriptionDesignerThe elegant Armchair designed half a century ago by the acclaimed Dane Børge Mogensen comprises a sophisticated outlook with no compromise on comfort. Its geometrical, clean lines follow the simple, yet functional ideology innate to Danish furniture design. The trendy appeal of the design characterizes Mogensen’s ability to encapsulate that timeless charm in all of his work. The armchair is created with the notion of maximum comfort and its padded cushions are a great addition to the relaxation feature of the furniture.Material FeatureStructure hardwood frame with double dowesl and corner block reinforcing and treated for durability pests control using a non toxic Kiln dried treatmentHigh elasticity dacron wrapped foam with genuine down feather layer Medium firm cushion seat feel cushion softness customizable Fabric, Top GrainAniline Leather upholstery C.O.M available Solid wood legs with walnut or natural oak finish legs height customizableAll materials are fire retardant non toxic Baby friendly DimensionsHeight 43 x Depth 32 x Width 28Seat Height 18 All measurements are approximations.Børge Mogensen was born in Aalborg, Denmark. He started as a cabinetmaker in 1934, and studied furniture design at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1936–38. From 1938 43 he worked at various design studios in Copenhagen, including with Kaare Klint. In 1959 he left FDB’s furniture design studio to found his own design studio. His work has been featured in one man exhibitions in Zurich, London, New York, Stockholm, Paris and Copenhagen. His furniture, strongly representative of his training as a traditional craftsman, was greatly appreciated by a public who had not yet become interested in modernism and the changes its influence had created on furniture and the decorative arts. He designed a sofa in 1945 with leather ties which allowed the sides to be dropped down. A 1949 chair, claimed by critics to be “a model for future chairs,” used a curved, slightly sloping backrest, cut out along the spine in an organic dewdrop shape. He designed a set of simple, sturdy and modest furniture for a seaside cottage in 1959, a very traditional oak table and chair set in 1960 and a set in pine to furnish a “husband’s study” in 1962.
