Borge Mogensen

The Danish cabinetmaker and architect Børge Mogensen is considered one of the most influential Danish designers.

With a mission to make quality furniture accessible to everyone, Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) became known as “the people’s designer.” His life’s work was dedicated to creating simple and functional wooden furniture that could last for generations. During his relatively short life, Børge Mogensen established himself as a prominent furniture designer. He was highly productive, designing a vast array of furniture and home textiles over 35 years—many of which have since achieved classic status.
