Looking at Danish designer Børge Mogensen’s Wing Chair and stool from 1963 you would immediately think of 20th century British-inspired elegance.
It is elegant yet sufficiently round and welcoming that people would think you are a real peasant for not sitting in it. The unusual name might make you think of all kinds of lofty images but when you sit on the well-padded stool you feel, above all, safe and in good hands.
A fact that we can partially thank another budding Danish designer Kaare Klint, Børge Mogensen’s mentor and great source of inspiration, as the design bears obvious reference to Klint’s classic masterpieces from the 1920s.
Just sit back and relax in Børge Mogensen’s wing back chair designed for pure pleasure... and experience furniture heaven.

Vacuum clean the furniture thoroughly, make sure to use the soft brush attachment (leather scratches easily). Do always move furniture by lifting. Dragging or pushing can damage fixings and affect stability.
Born in Aalborg in 1914, Børge Mogensen played an intrinsic role in bringing Danish design to the forefront of international consciousness. Together with colleagues such as Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner, Mogensen created such new-found international respect for Danish furniture design.
Mogensen’s simple and functional designs have enjoyed worldwide demand for more than half a century. His time spent as a cabinetmaker generated a self-respect towards traditional design values, however the Dane subtly incorporated Modernist vision and styles to forge a popular signature blend. He was highly motivated by functionality and thrived towards engaging an interaction between his pieces and their users. This was vital to Mogensen and is evident throughout his work.
Showcased in numerous museums and galleries worldwide, Mogensen’s career highlight was being awarded the title of Honorary Royal Designer for Industry in London, 1972.
