Børge Mogensen #330 Fredericia Oak "Football" Sofas / Daybeds w/ Original Fabric

About the Item

A rare pair of sofas/daybeds designed by Børge Mogensen for Fredericia A/S. Originally designed in a larger version for Erhard Rasmussen, this awesome sofa set is truly unique. It is nicknamed the "Football" sofa because of a photo taken with a group of boys playing with a soccer ball on a group of these sofas. Because of it's 2:1 proportions, it can be arranged in a variety of configurations. You can use them together or separate. We absolutely love the wall hung head cushions supported by saddle leather straps. The set also comes with an extra pair of cylindrical cushions. The base is constructed of solid oak with exposed joinery on the corners which we see in several Mogensen designs. The original plaid wool was designed by Mogensen's partner, Lis Ahlmann and produced by Cotil. The spring form cushions are comfortable to lounge on or take a NAP. Mogensen even had this design in his summer house. This is an awesome set that is rarely seen. An awesome sofa for any modern environment.

  • Børge Mogensen Oak Daybed "Model 190" for Fredericia, Denmark 1950s
    By Børge Mogensen, Fredericia
    Located in Utrecht, NL
    Børge Mogensen designed for function more than sculptural effect. Daybed Model 190 was designed in 1954 for Fredericia Furniture and shows Mogensen’s strong design ideals putting functionality and longevity first. Among the great mid-20th century Danish furniture designers, Børge Mogensen distinguished himself with his faith in traditional values of craftsmanship and honesty of materials. He focused on making pieces that were simple, durable and comfortable, while his chief tenets were quality of construction and simplicity of line. Even though he was a classicist, who believed that furniture forms should evolve from those of historical models, Mogensen shared the aesthetical sensibilities of his most forward-looking colleagues. This daybed has a simple look with understated elegance executed from high-quality materials. The solid oak construction stands on four round, tapered legs and has a lamella top with an upholstered mattress on it. Since the aesthetic is dominated by straight lines, the mattress has button tufting to bring depth into the appearance and accentuate the light coloured fabric. Paired with the blonde oak, the result is elegant and timeless, an aesthetic that can easily complement any style. Danish furniture maker Fredericia Stolefabrik was founded in 1911 by N. P. Ravnsø in an industrial port town of the same name. From the start, Ravnsø built Fredericia's reputation on quality and hired only the most skilled craftsmen he could find. In 1955, the Ravnsø family sold Fredericia to Andreas Graversen, whose first order of business would be to hire Børge Mogensen as head of design. Condition: In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The mattress has been reupholstered recently in a premium fabric. Each of our items can be re-upholstered by our in-house atelier in a fabric of choice. Please reach out for more information. Dimensions: 76.37 in W x 32.87 in D x 10.82 in H (excl. mattress) 194 cm W x 83.5 cm D x 27.5 cm H (excl. mattress) About the designer: Børge Mogensen is without a doubt one of the most famous Danish designers. Born in 1914 in Aalborg, Mogensen was trained as a cabinetmaker and studied at the Danish School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen from 1936 to 1938, and architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Architecture between 1938 and 1942. At the beginning of his career, he became head of F.D.B. Mobler’s furniture design studio. In 1950, he started his own design studio, collaborating with manufacturers Soborg, the Swedish company Karl Andersson and the famous manufacturer Fredericia from 1955. The collaboration with the latter resulted in many of Mogensen’s most famous furniture pieces, including the “Spanish Chair” and the “Ambassador Sofa...
