Designed in 1971, Børge Mogensen’s functionalist approach is evident in this foldable table. With its folding function and angular frame, finished in untreated, FSC®-certified teak its perfect for the British summer as it can be folded and stored away when it gets a bit colder.
The design is characterised by its clarity and function to be admired for years to come. Set on a sturdy but elegant wooden frame, graphic slats create a durable and decorative tabletop perfect for outdoor gatherings. When not in use, it can be folded flat and stored away or hung on a wall as a decorative feature. The carefully crafted details are a nod to the designer’s background as a cabinetmaker and draw clear stylistic references to the American Shakers and 19th Century English furniture design. Partner it with the Carl Hansen BM1781 Dining Bench.
Børge Mogensen was known as ‘the people’s designer’ – partly due to his engaging personality, but also because he always designed quality furniture that was within people’s reach. Børge Mogensen’s (1914-1972) creative process produced long-lasting pieces with humans at the centre. He became a highly influential post-war designer and a leading representative of Danish Modern.
