About this designer: Børge Mogensen
Børge Mogensen was known as the furniture designer who created high-quality furniture at affordable prices for Danish homes. He went on to design some of the most renowned furniture designs of the 1950s and 1960s. An exceptionally productive man, Mogensen’s collection of designs numbers into the thousands. New ideas came to him at any time of the day or night, and were scribbled down on matchboxes, table napkins, creased envelopes, or whatever was at hand. His lifelong mission was to create simple and practical furniture for everyone. Appearance was important, but never at the expense of functionality. He disapproved of colleagues who succumbed to the whims of fashion, ignored functionality or used excessively expensive materials. In the same breath, he defiantly brushed off any criticism for only using wood, his preferred material in all its different embodiments
About this brand: Fredericia Furniture
FREDERICIA has been producing innovative Scandinavian design since 1911. Their history, personality and commitment to quality is clearly demonstrated in every piece of furniture that leaves the factory. It is not their goal to please the majority or follow trends. Their furniture has strong ideas and a personality that is not afraid of toeing the line of normality. It should meet with today's standards but not be confined to a specific design policy. They believe that guidelines and committees are an obstacle for genuine creativity, and they therefore place the utmost faith in their designers.
