Børge Mogensen Dining Room Sets

Danish, 1914-1972

Among the great mid-20th century Danish furniture designers, Børge Mogensen distinguished himself with his faith to traditional values of craftsmanship and honesty of materials.

While peers such as Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl and Arne Jacobsen designed some of the most striking and now iconic furnishings of the era, Mogensen focused on making chairs, sofas and other pieces that were simple, durable and comfortable — and in the long run perhaps more useful and better loved.

Mogensen studied under and later worked for Kaare Klint, a master cabinetmaker whose chief tenets were quality of construction and simplicity of line. Klint was a classicist, who believed that furniture forms should evolve from those of historical models. So, too, in his way was Mogensen, as two of his best-known earlier pieces attest.

His 1945 Spokeback sofa, with hinged arms that can be lowered to facilitate lounging, is a reinterpretation of the venerable Knole settee. With the oval silhouette of its plywood backrest and waterdrop-shaped cutouts, Mogensen’s Shell chair, designed in 1949, can be seen as a novel take on early 19th-century Empire side chairs.

Yet Mogensen shared the aesthetical sensibilities of his most forward-looking colleagues. His cabinets deploy the same spare geometries and lushly figured woods as those of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and his disciple Florence Knoll, the chief difference being that Mies and Knoll used chrome steel for the frames and legs of their pieces. The brawny oak frames and slung leather seats and backrests of Mogensen’s Hunting chair (1950) and Spanish chair (1958) display the same hefty construction and appreciation of natural materials seen in the work of Charlotte Perriand and Sergio Rodrigues.

Mogensen designed for function more than sculptural effect. While his chairs may not be the first pieces in a décor to draw the eye, they are often the first to draw in those looking for a comfortable seat.

Vintage Danish Mid-Century Modern Dining Table and Chairs by Børge Mogensen

By Børge Mogensen

Located in Highclere, Newbury

A Mid-Century Modern Danish oak 4-seat dining set dating from circa 1964 by Børge Mogensen for Fredericia Stolefabrik that is perfect for a compact dining area. The set features a solid oak Shaker Style square table with an offset base and 4 oak and leather chairs, all in a smoked oak finish. Mogensen created many Shaker Style tables but this is perhaps the rarest as the legs form a central square pedestal that are supported by lateral offset base supports. This creates a unique design perspective as it allows the chairs to be stored under the table in a more interesting off-centre shape. Of course in use the chairs would be used in their central position to the table and it’s part of the clever design of the table that the lateral supports to do not interfere with the central seating position. The top has an open grain varnished finish and is constructed of oak planks that vary in color and grain. This again creates an interesting visual perspective as it means the top changes in color from darker to lighter shades of oak as you move around the table. I can’t say if the Børge Mogensen BM73...
